Critter Clues

My name means “long tail,” and I got the name because of my long tail feathers.

When I am kept as a pet, I am happiest with another of my species.

I have great vision, and I can even move my eyes separately from one another!

I can often be taught to talk and do tricks!

My beak grows quickly — up to three inches a year — so when I am kept as a pet I will need something to help me keep my beak from getting too long, such as a cuttlebone.

I am a popular pet all around the world.

I am sometimes called a “budgie.”
