The budgerigar, or budgie for short, is commonly regarded as the smallest parrot, but there are smaller species. Various species of parrots known as "parrotlets" (scientific name Forpus coelestis) are smaller, at only about 11-13 cm in length. The difference between these birds and budgies is that the budgies' tails are longer, giving them an extra cm or so in length. This holds true only for the original budgie, native to Australia, not the larger varieties that have been bred from these, and which are common pets in places such as England.
