Would you please explain to me the pun? I think it must be something along the lines of "suck seed" or "sick seed"... But it still doesn't make much sense.

What was born to succeed?
A budgie with a blunt beak.

Yes, it's a pun on "suck seed". A budgie with a blunt beak would find it easier to suck food than a bird with a pointed one.

Budgies eat seeds and their beaks normally look like hooks, pointing downwards.

Is the point that, instead of pecking seeds, they suck them?
 
Yes! (y)
