They have multi-colored feathers. Most people would call them parakeets, although they are a different species.
Budgies are the smallest members of the parrot family, so they have the characteristic short curved beak of a parrot. English budgies have had the slenderness bred out of them, are larger than normal budgies and tend to have a rounded shape.
In their natural state, budgies are slender birds, about 18cm in length. The male has a blue waxy membrane above its beak called the cere, where the nostrils are, whilst the equivalent in a breeding female is brown, and pale in a non-breeding bird. Wild budgies are green, but years of selective breeding of captive birds have produced a great variety of colours, including other shades of green, yellow, all the shades of blue, lilac and violet, white and pied (mixtures of any of the colours).
The term parakeet actually covers a variety of small to medium sized parrots with long tails. There is actually no such species as a parakeet. Any bird known by this term has another name, but has been "lumped in" together with other small-medium long-tailed parrots (e.g. the Alexandrine Parakeet is actually an Alexandrine Parrot, and the Abyssinian Parakeet is actually an Abyssinian Ringneck).
Budgies, also known as parakeets, are small birds with colorful plumage. They typically have a bright green body with yellow and black markings on their wings and back. Some budgies may also have blue, white, or purple feathers. Budgies also have a hooked beak and long tail feathers.
