Jill, yes, you are right about that information! Mirrors can cause major problems, I know of two, and some other less minor problems that were much more easily fixed!

"All budgies are parakeets, but not all parakeets are budgies"

a.k.a.

"All zebras are horses, but not all horses are zebras"

Those two quotes can be said many different ways, think about dogs, cats, or wales!

"PARAKEET"
'Para' derived from parrot, and 'keet' meaning small.... latin words......

Ok now for budgies.... Budgie is short for budgerigar, which in Aboriginal terms, means "good food" though in our own words, this means "good pets". There are only two breeds of budgies, "american", and english. English budgies are the larger budgies that can move their crests. They are known for their "show" quality. "American" or "Wild" budgies usually describes all the rest that are known for their quality as "pets".
