Congratulations. Sy really deserves to be Pet of the Day. What a clever, loving little bird. He looks like what we call a budgerigar in Australia. The budgerigar is a native Australian bird that has become the most popular cage bird in the world. The word means 'good food' in the Aboriginal language. In other countries, the budgie (for short) is known as a parakeet. A good site about budgies is www.geocities.com/RainForest/3298
I wonder if Sy is a budgie, also known as a parakeet.
