A day late to #WorldBudgieDay but hey! Here's a bunch of drawings, most pretty old by now, based on my last budgie Feanor. Good times!

For #WorldBudgieDay, here is the 1st published image of a #Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) for its scientific description by George Shaw (as the “Undulated Parrakeet") in The Naturalist's Miscellany of 1804-5.

(Yes, it appears unnaturally elongated, likely due to Shaw working from a skin rather than a living bird.)
