Budgie Another name for a Parakeet is a “Budgie. ” You can also call it a budgerigar. Parakeets, or “Budgies” grow up to eight inches long including the tail. This is a picture of my first Parakeet, Sam.

Species There are many different species of parakeets. My Parakeet is a Budgerigar. Some other species would be: Alexandrine Parakeets, Derbyan Parakeets, Eastern Rosella parakeets, Indian Ringneck Parakeets, Plum headed Parakeets, Quaker Parakeets and Regent Parakeets. This is an Alexandrine Parakeet. (right) This is a Derbyan parakeet. (left)

Numerous There are numerous types of Parakeets. Some live in the wild, and some can be pets. There are many different colors of Parakeets. There can be blue, black, yellow, green, and white. Some learn more quickly than others. If you teach them tricks, or teach them to get on you’re finger or shoulder, one Parakeet could learn on the first day, while another Parakeet could learn the next week.

Melopsittacus Undulatus This is the scientific name for a Budgie, Budgerigar, or a Parakeet. Melopsittacus Undulatus’ are small and slender with a long tail. This is a picture of the parakeet I have now, Sammie.

Talons All Parakeets have talons. They are the little claws on the tips of their fingers. When your Parakeets talons get too long, you will need to cut them. Sometimes, if you cut the talons, they will bleed. The best way to stop the bleeding is to get a match, light it, blow it out, and touch it where the wound is. This should stop the Parakeet from losing too much blood.
