The original language of the word "budgie" is English. It is a shortened form of "budgerigar," which is derived from an Aboriginal Australian language.
The budgerigar is not endangered. There are plenty of them both in the wild, and domesticated (as pets and in aviaries). Besides being found in plentiful numbers in their native country of Australia, there are numerous wild populations in areas of the United States and even the UK, as a result of accidental aviary releases.
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.
budgies The real name for parakeets is budgerigar; budgies for short. Budgerigar is Australian because the birds originally came from Australia.
It is the Australian parrot called a budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus).
Budgerigars are a native Australian bird. I once read that the word budgerigar was an Australian Aboriginal word for 'tastes good' but I think that may have been a joke. The original native bird is green. They still live in large flocks in country Australia.
The term "parakeet" is a generalised term to cover numerous species of smaller, long-tailed parrots. Usually, it is applied to the budgerigar, or budgie, a small native Australian parrot.The word tends to be used in countries outside of the birds' native lands. For example, the term "parakeet" is never used in Australia to refer to budgies, lorikeets or cockatiels, yet these birds are commonly known as "parakeets" overseas.
