Australian Grass Parakeet

The term Grass Parakeet (or Grasskeet) refers to a large number of small temp Australian parakeets native to grasslands such as Neophema and Princess Parrot. The Australian rosellas are also parakeets. Many of the smaller, long-tailed species of lories may be referred to as lorikeets.
The term Ringneck Parakeet refers to a number of African and Asian parakeet species of the Psittacula genus.
In aviculture the term conure is used for small to medium sized parakeets of the genera Aratinga, Pyrrhura, and a few other genere of the tribe Arini, which are mainly endemic to South America. As they are not all from one genus, taxonomists tend to dislike the term.
