I don't have Bourke's, but Shirley does and she has a website about them. I am sure she will have lots more info that will be really useful for you when she sees this, but I thought I'd give you the link and that way you can get started by reading bout them :D

Thank you for posting my link, Rachel!

I've put as much info there as I can think of... and here's an awesome Bourke's site all about color and other information:

Ours don't care much for fruit. They come from the dry savannahs of Australia, and are ground feeders there - grains, grasses, and such.

Ours eat Zupreem natural blend pellets along with some seed, and they love their veggies: corn, peas, greens, carrots.

Millet is their training treat - they love millet!
