Am I the only one that is confused why certain parrots are called multiple different things? Like budgies being called parakeets, monk parakeets being called quaker parrots, and senegal parrots being called african senegals? The list of these mix ups can go on and on.
I want to compile a list of the proper names by which common companion parrots should be called and then post it in one of the official sections of the site. Let's see if we can iron out a consensus and compile a master list of the correct names to use so that we could all be on the same page when we talk about parrot type x or y rather than mixing up the names and confusing people.
While we're at it, we can also have a list of parrot categories. Unfortunately we cannot really go by genus because many commonly known groups spam multiple genera such as cockatoos, conures, and macaws. This could get interesting...
