Budgerigars are a specific type of parakeet and originate from Australia.
These are commonly referred to simply as parakeets. A healthy bird will look clean, be active, be sitting up, and have smooth feathers. All birds in the facility should look healthy. It is important to have your bird checked by your veterinarian right after purchase, then at regular intervals for the first year, and then annually. Wild birds in the jungle hide illness as a means of self preservation.
