What is a "parakeet"?

A parakeet, also known as a budgerigar or budgie, is a small and lively parrot native to Australia. With their charming personalities and vibrant plumage, parakeets have become popular pets worldwide. They come in a variety of colors, including shades of blue, green, yellow, and white. Parakeets are known for their playful nature and their ability to mimic sounds and human speech. They are highly social birds that thrive on companionship and interaction, both with their human caretakers and with other parakeets. Despite their small size, parakeets are intelligent and can be trained to perform tricks and respond to commands. They are active flyers and require ample space and toys to keep them mentally stimulated and physically active.
