Information about Parakeet
- ''This article is about the bird. For the battlefield communication system, see Parakeet (communication system).
A parakeet is a term for any one of a large number of unrelated small parrot species. It is mainly used instead of Conure for small long-tailed members of the Arini in the Americas, and in Australia colloquially for many species. For the small bird often sold in pet stores, see budgerigar.
The term is descriptive and used for small, long-tailed parrots but does not imply an actual relationship between the different parakeets. Not all parakeets have long tails. An older orthography still sometimes encountered is paroquet.
For other birds with the name "Parakeet", see:
- * Rose-ringed or Ring-necked Parakeet
- * American parakeet
- For the bird, see Parakeet.
Parakeet is the name of an Australian Army's mobile battlefield communication system. It was introduced into service in the mid 1990s through project JP65.
