Parakeet toby jug - Shorter & Son circa 1955

Parakeet toby jug produced by Shorter & Son of Stoke-on-Trent, England, circa 1955. A parakeet is any one of many small to medium-sized species of parrot that generally has long tail feathers. Parakeets comprise about 115 species of birds that are seed-eating parrots of small size, slender build, and long, tapering tails. The Australian budgerigar, also known as "budgie", is probably the most common parakeet. It was first described by zoologists in 1891 and is the most popular species of parakeet kept as a pet in North America and Europe. A tree branch forms the handle of the jug.
