of trees. Although they seem so full of joy 

 and gladness when in large numbers together, 

 yet they appear to be just as happy and 

 contented when they are kept in single pairs 

 in a cage. The Zebra Parrots have been 

 taken to England, where they thrive well and 

 are universally admired. The term "Zebra" 

 has been applied to them on account of the 

 Zebra-like markings on their feathers. The 

 Aboriginal names are Budgeree-gar and 

 Betcherrygah, both referring to the beauty of 

 their appearance.
