You would have to ask a breeder what color your blue and green parent budgies would have.

All poultry have smaller  wings and feet which are adapted to walking on the ground. Selective breeding by humans to create meatier birds have produced large breasted birds and smaller wings. Their body structure makes them unable to fly.

Parakeets are one of the easiest types. They don't require long hours of out-of-cage time and are happy with 1 or 2 hours of socialization. They are usually content playing in a cage that gives them enough room and lots of bird-safe toys. Of course, the more time you spend with your bird, the faster s/he will learn.

With females, the cere is pale brown to white. Immature birds of both sexes have pink ceres. By about 6 months of age, the cere is a good indicator of the sex of the bird.

In their natural habitat, Australia, budgies are green and yeallow with black markings on the nape, back and wings. With specialized breeding, they now can be found in many different color mutations. The English budgie has a little different look due to breeding.

Give your bird uup to 10 minutes a session daily and repeat a simplle word you'd like him to learn over and over.  Let  your cockatiel see your lips move as you talk. Reward him with a treat when he pays attention to you. Use a high-pitched voice as birds respond to those sounds. Although I wasn't with him for very long, I taught my granddaughter's cockateil, Tweety, to say Pretty Shira (her name) and his name. Tweety came to live with me when my granddaughter left home for school and he's picked up the sounds of outdoor birds. He's 9 years old now, but I haven't given up teaching him more words.

But many live a lot longer. When considering any of the large parrots as pets, you must take into account their lifespans and be prepared to make a very long commitment to their care and well-being.

However these may not be the direct ancestors of today's parrots. Climate change in Europe, the continent growing colder, forced these birds to die out. The natural habitats of parrots are tropical and sub-tropical regions. There are about 350 species of parrot in the world today. They are naturally found in the continents of Australia, South America, Africa and the southern areas of North America (Mexico and Central America). The Oceanic region - Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and neighboring islands - are home to many species. Parrots are not imported into the U.S. . Pet parrots are allowed in only after going through a quarantine period. Australia strictly regulates the export of any of their native live species.
