Australian Signs of The Apocalypse - Budgie Plague

If the skies turning blood-red a few weeks ago were not enough to convince us that the Apocalypse was nigh now, in a quintessentially (I've always wanted to use that word in a sentence) Australian manner, two more signs have manifested. 

Firstly, small white fluffy dogs have gone feral and started attacking people (OK. I admit, not very Australian and not very scary) and secondly, the Australian Outback is under attack from a plague of Budgerigars.

With the good inland rains flocks of the tiny, green parrots have bred into millions of noisy, hungry, little flying demons.  Anyone who has owned a Budgie will know just how scary is the prospect of millions of the nasty, little, bitey buggers. 

Alfred Hitchcock eat your heart out.
