The budgerigar, also known as the common parakeet or
shell parakeet, is a small, long-tailed, seed-eating parrot usually
nicknamed the budgie, or in American English, the parakeet.
Budgies are the only species in the genus Melopsittacus. Wikipedia
The little budgie bird is one of the most popular pets in the world,
ranking just behind dogs and cats, and it's no wonder. This
affectionate, cute bird is small and inexpensive, and if trained
properly a budgie can mimic human speech. The origin of its formal
name―budgerigar―is a mystery, but by any name, this little bird is a
charming companion for most pet owners. Reference
