So they are all parrots. But not all parrots are parakeets and not all parakeets are conures. When I hear quaker, sun conure, Hahn's, Monk, budgie, ringneck etc I know what they are. Getting caught up in these titles is confusing and pointless.

How about Perseus, Cass, Plato and Hades? I know those names a lot better than any taxonomic classifications!
