What's unfortunate is that here in the US Budgies are called "parakeets". If I tell the average person here that I have a Budgie they have no idea what I'm talking about. We have to be understanding about this word usage problem here before we get frustrated with people who don't understand what "parakeet" refers to in the UK and much of the of the world.Excuse me, but there is nothing stupid about "parakeets" aka Budgies, or saying that someone used to have one! Please apologize to my beloved Rocky BalBirden! His feelings are hurt!
