Best Answer

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.

What is the average body weight of parrot?

The parrotlet, one of the smallest types of parrot, can weigh between 30 and 35 grams, whereas a Hyacinth Macaw, the biggest parrot, can weigh about 1,250 grams! (about 2 3/4 lbs.) What you are most likely thinking of when you say parrot is probably a scarlet macaw, which is about 2 lbs.
