Well, a parakeet is a small, long tailed, seed eating parrot. And actually, they're the smallest species of parrot. An adult budgie will be approximately seven inches in length (18 centimeters).

Parakeet refers to any passerine with a (proportionally) long, flat tail, but I am going to assume you are referring to the American budgerigar and answer your question accordingly.

The American budgerigar has an approximate length of 17-20 cm.

This depends on the type of budgie. English budgies are the biggest, and can weigh up to 60 grams. Their body size is approximately 24cm.

How do you keep a green parakeet quiet?

First of all the color of your parakeet doesn't effect anything it does. Second, you can't make a parakeet be quiet. They're big flock birds so they always are communicating with one another. Each parakeet is different, I have two myself and one is quiet and only has a few outbursts while the other likes to talk all day long. If you dislike the sound then I suggest giving the parakeet away or getting used to it. Never EVER punish the parakeet by smacking it, spraying it, or anything else.
