Budgie IS the contraction. The full name is Budgerigar.
This depends on personal preference. The budgerigar, a native of Australia and sometimes known as "parakeet" overseas, is a cheerful, chirpy bird that is entertaining to watch and easy to look after.
If it is a budgerigar, it might be a young bird. If it is not a young bird it is probably a male. There are two ways to be 100% sure of a bird's sex. One is a blood test. The other way is if a bird lays an egg (hens will sometimes lay unfertilized eggs even if there are no males), she is definitely a female.
Parakeet can refer to many different species of small parrot, some of which are blue. If you are from the U.S., the most common species that is called a parakeet is the budgerigar, which has many color mutations that appear blue. If the bird being sold is less than $40 it is probably a budgerigar. Other possibilities that are common in the pet trade are Quaker/Monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) and Alexandrine parakeets (Psittacula eupatria). In both cases, if the bird looks blue it is a color mutation and not the natural wild color.
