🦜Budgerigar

Melopsittacus undulatus (Shaw, 1805)

사랑앵무(일본어: 背黄青鸚哥 (セキセイインコ) 세키세이잉꼬[*], 영어: Budgerigar)는 앵무새의 일종이다. 오스트레일리아의 건조한 지역에서 살고 있다. 몸길이는 18 cm, 몸무게는 30~40 g가량 된다. 몸은 녹색, 꼬리는 푸른색, 머리는 노란색이며, 날개는 녹색을 띤 검은색 깃털과 검은색 칼깃으로 되어 있다. 다리는 분홍색이나 회색으로 된 대지족이다. 부리는 분홍빛을 띤 갈색이며 다 자란 수컷에게는 푸르스름하거나 분홍빛, 보랏빛의 납막이 있지만 흰색 등의 변종이 있다. 다 자란 암컷은 우유색, 갈색빛의 납막이다. 나무나 풀이 우거진 탁 트인 곳의 관목과 같은 곳에서 산다. 구멍이나 나무 위에 둥지를 짓고 4~7개의 알을 18일간 품는다. 깨어난 새끼가 30일 동안 자라면 독립한다. 새끼를 기를 때가 아니면 조건이 좋은 곳을 찾아 사는 곳을 옮겨다니는 편이다. 이 때문에 철새처럼 이주를 하기도 한다.
