No. Parakeet is the US name for the budgie or budgerigar.
However, there are different variations to the parakeet. There are the more common Austrailian parakeets and there are the English Budgerigar. The English is bigger that the Aussie and tends to have a slight crest in their heads that they poof out a lot.
xskybirdx says: Budgies are parakeets but not all parakeets are budgies. Budgies is a more specific term, though parakeets is more commonly used. (This answer is from someone in the Mid-Atlantic region of the USA... the answer could b different elsewhere... see above)
Yes. I believe that a budgie is a type of parakeet, considering I saw a label at Petsmart and it read: Budgie Parakeet. I guess nobody knows for sure. except for avian experts.
Yes, they are parakeets, and all parakeets are also just small parrots, like lories, conures, lorikeets, and the larger species like African grey, Amazon yellow naped, etc.

Why is it that some say that parakeets are the same as budgies and other say they are different birds. Which is correct?
Parakeets and budgies refer to the same species, Melopsittacus undulatus, but the term "parakeet" is a broader classification that encompasses various species of small to medium-sized parrots with long tail feathers. In casual contexts, especially in the U.S. and Canada, "budgie" specifically refers to the domesticated version of this bird. Therefore, while all budgies are parakeets, not all parakeets are budgies. Thus, those who say they are the same are correct in the context of the species, while those who differentiate may refer to the broader classification of parakeets.
