The small Australian parrot is called a budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus)
Parakeet is not an Australian term. This is a term used by non-Australians for the small parrot known as the budgieor budgerigar.
It is also used for any of the smaller, long-tailed parrots such as lorikeets, rosella and cockatiels. All of these are popular pets.

∙ 12y agoThere is no actual species called an "Australian parrot". This is likely a name given to a particular parrot, which originates from Australia, but with the proper name not being used by overseas bird clubs.
Australian parrots include (to name just a few):
- budgerigar
- galah
- corella
- sulphur-crested cockatoo
- rainbow lorikeet
- Bourke parrot
- rosella (any species)
- cockatiel
