Here's a little more information about Pacific Parrotlets:

Pacific Parrotlets (Forpus coelestis) are usually called Parrotlets or Pocket Parrots, but are sometimes referred to as Celestial Parrotlets or Lessons Parrotlets--

They are often mistaken for budgies because they are about the same size, but are tinier and look a little stockier.

Budgies/Parakeets (Melopsittacus undulatus) tend to be more gentle pets--

Parrotlets have a stronger temperament and a higher energy level.

Order: Psittaciformes

Family: Psittacidae

Subfamily: Arinae

Genus: Forpus

Species: F. coelestis

New World Parrots native to western Ecuador and northwestern Peru, the Pacific Parrotlet is one of the most commonly kept species of the Forpus genus due to its manageable size, intelligence, and vibrant coloration.
