Need an attitude adjustment? Just walk into an aviary full of these little fellas and your frown will be turned upside down immediately with their antics. Budgerigars also known as budgies or parakeets are native to Australia where they are found in the wild. Highly social, cheerful and vocal, budgies are the third most common pet after dogs and cats. They are also considered one of the top five talking parrots.
