Can parakeets talk. are parakeets parrots.?
Yes, Remember parakeet is a classification of parrots. There are many types of parakeets. Such as the Alexandrine Parakeet, Monk parakeet, and indian ring neck, etc. But I am sure when you say parakeet you mean a “budgie”. Those little type of parakeets sold in most stores. While they are called parakeets in the USA, they are called Budgies everyplace else. Which makes sense since parakeet is a wide term that covers many species. In fact a Quaker parrot is in the parakeet family. Different species of parakeets have different levels of talking ability. Quakers are known as the poor mans african grey and have an amazing talking ability. While budgies occasionally will have a few words they will say, but are not really known for being the best talkers. http://www.avianweb.com/parrotspecies.ht… lists most parrots, just take a peek how many species of parrots are classified under parakeet.
