The dreaming site shown in this painting for the budgerigar is at Yangarnmpi, south of Yuendumu. Budgerigars are small, bright green birds native to central Australia which are common around the Yuendumu area, especially after the summer rains. The Budgerigars travelled near Willowra to the east of Yuendumu and travelled further west of Yuendumu. Each time the flock of ancestral budgerigar’s lands, they perform ceremonies, singing and dancing as they fly and roost in the trees. The sites of these ceremonies are depicted in this painting as concentric circles, while cross-like shapes depict the footprints of the birds on the ground and give an indication of the large flocks of budgerigars that can be found near Yangarnmpi and other sites close to Yuendumu. After good rains budgerigars can successfully breed several times, resulting in an explosion of the population in a short time.
