More Parakeet Facts :
- In the wild, native Australian parakeets ( known as budgerigars ) have an all green plumage. Colored variations we see in pet shops are the result of mutations and selective breeding.
- Parakeets were first exported to England where they proved extremely popular as pets. British parakeet fanciers developed many variations and increased the overall size of the birds. Larger birds with pronounced foreheads and even spots are highly prized in parakeet shows. Now England exports prize winning birds back to Australia for large sums of money !
- The parakeets body may contain as many as several thousand feathers.
