- Budgerigar
- Sulphur-crested cockatoo
Many Australian birds such as finches, doves, pigeons, parrots (including budgerigars and various cockatoos), and so on are both gregarious and seed-eating.
There are also gregarious species of Australian birds which are omnivorous but also include seed in their diets.
A diet which features seeds as a main food encourages gregariousness as the birds gather together in common feeding areas such as particular trees and grasslands.
This communal behaviour provides protection to the flock as they all have prompt warning of the approach of predators and other hazards through the use of lookouts. Frequently, several species share the same feeding area, and one species will pick up the warning call, or food source call, of another.
