How Budgies Evolved Into Tiny, Colorful Airplanes

The respiratory system of budgies is intricately designed for efficient breathing during flight, with adaptations in their skeletal structure, including lightweight bones, to facilitate this high-energy activity, while their advanced vision extends into the ultraviolet spectrum, enhancing their perception and interaction with the environment.
Budgie feathers not only enable flight but also glow under ultraviolet light, a feature important in social signaling and mate selection, supported by their meticulous feather maintenance through regular preening.
Neurologically, budgies exhibit significant learning capabilities and memory retention, essential for their complex social interactions and environmental adaptations, reflecting their advanced cognitive functions.
