I found this video posted by YouTuber Sa Yu and it cracked me up. Those little marching feets and excited little chirps are adorable! Listen to this one with the sound on for extra giggles.
According to my quick Internet searching, pink “parakeets” are known as Bourke’s parrots, identified in 1835 in New South Wales by Sir Thomas L. Mitchell. The genetic variations in the color of true budgies and parakeets are green and yellow or blue and white, with variations possible with selective breeding and the like. Red, on the other hand, is not a color found in the parakeet feather genetic makeup. So a pink “parakeet” is really a parrot. All parakeets are part of the parrot species, however, so they are all related. Further, all budgies are parakeets, but apparently not all parakeets are budgies. OK, that about exhausts all my research on the matter, but if you are interested in more, I’ve provided some starting points. Chirp and good luck!
Birb got the zoomies!
The swift pattering sound of that pretty boid's widdle feets as it scampers and tweets so melodically is just absolutely ADORBS!
