A budgie or budgerigar is a small Australian member of the parrot family. In the wild they are all green and smaller than the domestic birds. They live on vast plains and feed on seeding grasses. As they are so numerous they are not endangered and have taken well to domesticity in the 200 hundred years or so since they were first bred into captivity. They were 'discovered' by Captain Cook and their name comes from a rough translation of the Aboriginal for 'tasty snack', as they would throw a boomerang into the massive flocks to hunt them for food.
In captivity there are now over 100 different colour combinations and they are most popular in the UK, Germany and the US, where they are kept as pets or show birds. In the US the pets are often known as 'keets', and the show birds are known as 'English Budgerigars'.
They are good pets for older children and adults as they do not like to be handled regularly but they do like company, so usually it is best to have two. They are not so good for younger children due to the above and that they can peck if they are distressed.
Hope that gives you enough information to be going on with.
