Budgerigar (also known as a parakeet) with some key points:

  • Beak – Budgerigars have a strong, pointed beak that they use for cracking seeds and other foods.
  • Cere – This is the fleshy area above the beak where the nostrils are located. In males, the cere is usually blue, while in females it is brown.
  • Eye – Budgerigars have large, round eyes that are located on the sides of their head. This gives them a wide field of vision.
  • Crown – This is the top of the bird’s head.
  • Nape – The nape is the back of the bird’s neck.
  • Wing – Budgerigars have two wings, which they use for flying.
  • Tail – The tail is made up of several feathers and is used for steering during flight.
  • Rump – The rump is the area just above the tail feathers.
  • Leg – Budgerigars have two legs, which are used for perching and walking.
  • Foot – Each foot has four toes, two pointing forward and two pointing backward. Budgerigars use their feet to grip onto perches and other surfaces.
