A budgie, short for budgerigar, is a small and colourful parakeet native to Australia. These birds are known for their vibrant plumage, playful personalities, and social nature. Budgies are a popular choice as pets due to their friendly disposition and ability to mimic sounds, including human speech. They typically measure about 6 to 7 inches (15 to 18 centimeters) in length and come in various colours and patterns, thanks to selective breeding. Budgies require a balanced diet of seeds, fresh vegetables, and fruits, as well as a spacious cage for exercise and mental stimulation. They are known for their cheerful chatter and can form strong bonds with their human caregivers, making them a beloved choice for bird enthusiasts.
