Birds murmuration 'turns' Australia's Northern Territory sky green and gold

After a bumper wet season, huge flocks of budgerigars are on the move in the deserts of the Northern Territory

The humble budgerigar has transformed the red centre into a sea of green and gold.

A massive murmuration – the phenomenon of thousands of birds flocking together – has swarmed the Northern Territory.

Photographer Steve Pearce has captured the natural phenomenon, explaining the sheer quantity of the birds causes the air pressure to change.

After a tough couple of years due to drought and bushfires, some inland Australian bird species are now thriving after a buoyant wet season.

“There’s a critical mass that sweeps in. It’s spectacular.”
