ALL PARAKEETS are budges. The so-called 'ENGLISH' budgie is actually no different from any regular, old, parakeet except to maybe charge more for a bird imported from England. That sucks, too. Notice how the 'English' budgie looks exactly like the other blue and white parakeet. They can breed together, too.
@Calliope334 Yes! That's right. "English Budgies are NOT a separate "species" from common parakeets (except from other "parakeets" like the Grey Cheeked Parakeet, Bourke's Parakeet & the Turquoisine Parakeet). Common parakeets, or "American Parakeets" are "budgies" too. They all originated from Australia. But I don't believe "English Budgies" are actually imported from England these anymore. They have been domestically breeding them for many years.
@Calliope334 "English Budgies" were also known as "Show Budgies" because they were bred for specific characteristics. All budgies belong to the same species...Melopsittacus undulatus. Different color varieties were bred & some body proportions gained importance during the years. In UK, there was the origin of the modern breeder's ideal: the English Budgie. So there were actually 3 different species of birds in the video..."budgies", cockatiels and Lovebirds (or Lovebird).
@Calliope334 The word "budgie" comes from the word "budgerigar", which is what they are called in Australia, their native country. Alternative common names also include: shell parrot, warbling grass parakeet, canary parrot, zebra parrot, flight bird, scallop parrot...and the alternate spellings are: budgerygah and betcherrygah.
Three species actually, English budgies are the same species as other budgies (undulatus is the species name), the English is just a different mutation.
its not a great idea to mix any sub-species together in a cage. You run into the problem of them having different strengths, and hurting each other. Unless under supervision, keep them away from each other.
i honestly do not know. it is worth looking into, i will get back to you though. good news, my flock has 2 males and 5 females and i keep great supervision on my flock.
And you didn't invite me >:l !!!!!!!!!!!
