parrakeets
Colorful caged birds
Parrakeets is an alternate spelling of parakeets—small to medium-sized parrots with long tail feathers, often kept as pets.
The budgerigar is the most common species in captivity: The parrakeets chattered noisily in their cage.
This spelling, though less common today, reflects older British conventions.
