Budgerigar refers to a specific small parrot that originated in Australia. It derives from the Aboriginal bah-charry-ga, meaning "pretty bird" (believe it or not).
Although it is commonly used to refer to budgies, "parakeet" is a term for any one of a large number of unrelated small to medium sized parrot species, that generally have long tail feathers. The term is descriptive, but does not imply an actual relationship between the different parakeets. In the US, "parakeet" usually refers to Budgerigars, but it is not a precise use of the word.

A parakeet would probably like the following: a medium sized ball, a swing, a rope, and a bell. Be careful to not buy a too small toy, as it can be swallowed. These all can be toys and probably can be bought at a local pet store such as Pet Smart or elsewhere. Also keep in mind a second parakeet can keep the parakeet company, or some large toy would work too. Happy shopping! :)
