On a hot autumn afternoon, cool Parakeet enjoys being fed. Parakeets comprise about 115 species of birds that are seed-eating parrots of small size, slender build, and long, tapering tails.

A parakeet is any one of many small to medium-sized species of parrot, in multiple genera, that generally has long tail feathers. Older spellings still sometimes encountered are paroquet or paraquet. In American English, the word parakeet usually refers to the budgerigar. The budgerigar is a species of parakeet. The name parakeet is derived from the French word perroquet. It is however a pseudo-francism as perroquet means parrot in French, while the French for parakeet is perruche. Parakeets comprise about 115 species of birds that are seed-eating parrots of small size, slender build, and long, tapering tails. The Australian budgerigar, also known as "budgie", Melopsittacus undulatus, is probably the most common parakeet. 57616
