What is Budgie Genetics Simulator?
You pair budgies to discover more than 20 color mutations in a short, single-player 3D simulation. Birds grow from eggs into fledglings, and certain breeding combinations unlock in-game achievements. Each bird can breed only a few times, while inbreeding can reduce egg production.
