Talk:Parakeet

message: "used ... in Australia colloquially for many species." - I'm not sure where this came from, but in my experience (as an Australian) it's demonstrably false.  The term "parakeet" is almost unknown to average Australians (perhaps in the breeding community it's more common).  "Parrot" and "budgie" are very common.  Paulgear 05:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Wiki doesn't address English Parakeets." Yes, it does, and it does so here: Budgerigar#Captivity . As the article to which this talk page is attached states, the bird commonly referred to as a parakeet is more accurately called a Budgerigar or Budgie and thus any statements pertaining to varieties of Budgerigar should be on its page, not this one. 68.146.201.0 (talk) 15:43, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

text: It's recognised in the UK too, so although it may not be universal, it's not exclusively American.  Even if it was exclusively American, that wouldn't mean it had no place in Wikipedia but it should certainly be made clear that was the case. The White House is exclusively American but it has an article! Halsteadk (talk) 08:44, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Hmmm. That doesn't look as though it belongs there. I'll remove it. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 23:36, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I have just added a much needed external link to a parakeet website to try and improve this but is there any way we can clean this page up? It really contains no good information on budgies.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.120.54 (talk) 17:21, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  This page is terrible 

message: There's nothing to describe the animals size, except small to medium...it needs something more concrete.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pb8bije6a7b6a3w (talk • contribs) 02:15, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Shouldn’t this be linked to the Budgie page? Because they’re the same thing, just in different languages. NickleSonic (talk) 19:15, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

message: Hey, @Iloveparrots: what parakeets are not in Psittaculidae? Note that Psittaculidae just redirects to this page. IAmNitpicking (talk) 10:57, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There are some parakeets in Arini (tribe). They're often called "conures" by aviculturists, but many ornithologists refer to them as "parakeets". Looks like an anon redirected the Psittaculidae article recently. I'll restore that one now. Iloveparrots (talk) 12:13, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: While you're at it, you might want to remove the taxobox, since it's no longer relevant if parakeets are not all in that taxon. IAmNitpicking (talk) 00:34, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
