Actually theres three types bush budgies are wild budgies then american or australian are the ones you see in stores then they're english budgies which are bred bigger but all originally came from the bush budgie which are even smaller then the american/australian
I dont know what parakeets yous are all talking about but they can bite and make you bleed I breed them and they can have a bad bite unless you get a tame bird from a breeder im pretty sure the kid will get bored of it as it wont be tamed i would not recommend a bird to any kid unless the kid...
