this question below was the difference at the local library’s trivia night:
what kind of animal is a budgie?
Er… is it a trick question? Otherwise, I’d say it’s a bird - short for budgerigar 
Ah, I wasn’t sure whether they were specifically Australian - that would tend to make things tricky for some of you 
Kylie Minogue = “The Singing Budgie”
But an even better question: What are “budgie smugglers”?
Answer: men’s Speedos (swim briefs)
I remember water-skiing budgies being mentioned in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
There’s a bit of trivia for you.
yeah, we put “bird” but the answer they accepted was “parakeet”. lost by one. :fume:
You were robbed.
If the answer was ‘parakeet’, they should have asked ‘What kind of bird is a budgie?’.
