PARAKEETS THAT CAN
SURVIVE A MONTH
WITHOUT WATER
Wild parakeets live in the deserts of Australia where it rarely
rains. Since they meet their need for water from the seeds on
which they feed, these birds can easily survive without drinking
water for a month in very dry seasons. Water is vital
to wild parakeets. For that reason, they organize
all their lives according to climatic conditions.
