I have 2 budgies, a cockateil and a conure but our new Derbyan is huge in comparison. I know they are called 'parakeets' but he is massive! Utterly gorgeous too
I almost bought one a year ago. He was a big gentle giant,the only thing that stopped me was the "feather dust" they create,and my OH has breathing problems!
You are very lucky,they are beautiful. You dont hear much about them for some reason,maybe Americans call them something else? I dont know.
