Information

Discovered a huge patch of coveted bluegrass on a bike ride at the edge of the forest.

My budgies “cut in” and say that this is the best grass ever.

Meadow-grass is a very common sweet grass and is particularly popular with small grain-eaters, such as the native finches and of course our Australian budgies.
