If you have a bird that doesn't fit into one of the existing categories, just let me know.

I have Splendids, Bourkes, Turqs, Elegants and a Red-rump.
What about 3 chickens and a bantam? :)

I didn't realize I'd left out so many. :-) Is there a 'family' that includes any of those?

I have another friend with chickens and (soon if not already) a turkey or three. Maybe a farm-fowl forum would be appropriate?

Hooties Mum: Thanks for the tip! I did a little searching on Google and you're right about Neophema, but I think "Grass Parakeets" will be better understood.

Kate: Meyers are in the poicephalus family - they're related to senegals, jardines, red-bellieds, and so on.

Thanks Kyle, I had never even heard of those before now. If anyone else is wondering what they look like, there's a picture at the bottom of this page:

Parakeets are also known as budgerigars. Maybe I should put that in parentheses just in case.

I always thought parakeet was a generally term that just meant "small parrot" but I don't really know. I've heard people say that budgies should never have been called parakeets, but I don't know what the story is behind that term. (Budgerigar has an interesting story though - I'm told that it means "good eating" in an Australian aboriginal language, because the birds made good snacks.) Nate Waddoups Redmond WA USA
