Budgerigars



Species: Melopsittacus undulatus

Common Name: Budgie, Parakeet

Size: 35-50g

Lifespan: approx. 15 years

Habitat: Australia

Talking Ability: Low

Note: Many aviculturists contend that the budgie is one of the best talkers of the bird world. However, since their so-called "speech" is so garbled and chirpy that you generally can't make out what they are saying, we had to assign an ability of "Low."
