What can learn to speak many human words all without a voice box?
______________________

How can you tell apart male and female budgies? Are grass seeds actually really nutritious? How big can budgie flocks get to be? What does zygodactyl mean? What’s a budgie’s daily routine? Today with your host, Devon, and co-hosts, Chet and Cap, and two special guests (Devon’s pet budgies, Budgly & Rex!), you will learn the first half of everything there is to know about the Budgerigar, Melopsittacus undulatus.

This is the first part of the Budgerigar. The second part (the second half of the info I researched) and third part (an interview) will be released within the next few months.
