Wonder why? The bright splashy colors of a budgie are one of those many qualities that actually draw the attention of bird lovers. These birds are delightful and friendly. They readily pick up words. Some apparently learn a hundred or more. Budgies are small birds, and so can be handled even by 6-year-old kids. They are not as noisy as other parrots, and simply have an attitude, that ensures you have loads and loads of fun. This is reason enough for bird lovers to prefer budgies to other birds. Many people are more familiar with parakeets than with budgies. Never mind. Birds with long-pointed tails are called parakeets.

Budgies also have long tails are therefore, at times, called parakeets. 'Parakeet' is a more generic term , compared to 'budgie'. However, although a budgie is a kind of parakeet, not all parakeets are budgies. Introduction Budgies attract bird lovers with their bright splashy colors.  Origin The origin of budgies can be traced back to the interior regions of Australia. Here, the landscape is dry and much like a desert, with no regular rains. Real hardy birds, budgies are. And this makes it all the more easy for pet lovers to handle budgies.
