Queensland Rail posted a security footage on Facebook showing a group of girls walking along a platform at the Chelmer train station.
Suddenly, the pet bird flew away from the girls and landed on the track.
One girl immediately ran to alert a staff member of the bird's presence and the train was stopped as driver Shane Little rescued the pet bird.

"It flew away from me the first time but I managed to pick it up the second time and took it over to the girls," Little told the Brisbane Times.
Queensland Rail praised the girls for acting quickly and not attempting to go onto the tracks themselves.
"We commend the girls for not fluttering about and for following the appropriate steps to stay off the tracks to safely report the incident, which has meant we were able to safely stop trains for a short time to save and collect the budgie," the station wrote on Facebook.
