    You are correct, it is a parakeet, which is the smallest bird in the parrot family.
    It is a native of Australia a shortening of BUDGERIGAR.The true wild budgie is plain green an fly in flocks of hundreds in western areas. With breeding the budgie is now in various colours,yellow,blue even white.
    I have heard it is the most popular pet bird world wide.
    Male birds make great talkers, to differenciate the sexes the male has a blue cere, which is the skin like piece where the beak comes out of the head. The female has a brown cere

    Hundreds??? More like thousands

    I was going to say thousands but it is a while since I have seen thousands so I was being safe.
    I have lived in and/ or travelled all over Qld, NSW, Vic> Tassis SA and the Territory and in years gone by the birds would almost block the sun
    Zebra finches, Galahs Major Mitchels, Sulphur Creasted millions of them.
    So much for progress.
