The Perth Mint and Australia Post are pleased to present this stamp and coin cover which features the inquisitive and endearing Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus)!
The Budgerigar is a small parrot native to the drier regions of Australia, where it is found in open scrublands, woodlands, and grassland. In the wild, Budgerigars are green and yellow, with black markings on the nape, back and wings. These nomadic birds usually move around in small flocks, but under favourable conditions cab sometimes number in the many thousands. Budgerigars (or budgies) are one of the world’s most popular pets.
Highly social, they are very receptive to humans and can be trained to whistle, mimic speech and do simple tricks. Budgies have been bred in a range of colour combinations, including yellow, blue, violet, grey and white, and in many countries are exhibited by enthusiasts in competitive shows.
Issued as Australian legal tender, the uncirculated aluminium bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the coin’s reverse and obverse designs. Secure yours today - click add to cart!
