Budgies are parrots technically speaking.
I keep Budgies and a Parrot and yes my Budgies are just as intelligent and have just as much personality.
One of my Budgies frequently talks to me in context in both english and Japanese. Anything my parrot can do so can my Budgie.

He knows when you have the camera out and just statrs showing off, the best one I got of him on camera was when I was being sneaky and he suddenly noticed the camera and asked me "Whatcha doing?" while running up to have a look. Spent a good 10 minutes this morning asking me for a headscratch while I was doing something else, then when I had finished I said do you want a headscratch now, "No" and he flew off. Little sod at times lol.

Think you missed my meaning there, Budgies ARE Parrots, they are small parrots and are called Parakeets due to their long tails, just like a Lovebird is a parrot. Parrots are not just the larger birds we commonly associate the term 'parrot' with.

I don't understand where people get this idea that budgies and parrots are mutually exclusive! Budgies are a member of the parrot family. To be scientifically correct of the Psittacidae family. I don't understand why you keep them, Thomas, if you have such disregard for them?
