Etymology
The word 'parakeet' originates from the French word 'perruche', which was derived from the Old French 'perruche', meaning a small parrot. The term was adopted into English in the late 19th century to describe various species of small, long-tailed parrots. Parakeets are primarily found in tropical and subtropical areas, and their vibrant colors and sociable nature have made them popular pets worldwide. The family of parakeets includes many species, some of which are native to Australia, such as the budgerigar, which has become one of the most common pet birds. Over time, breeding and domestication have led to the development of many colorful variations, solidifying the parakeet's status as a beloved companion animal.
