This, I think, is a type of parrot. Can anyone tell me the exact English equivalent - I can't find it anywhere - unless it's just 'A big parrot' as in 'not a budgie' - any thoughts?

it may not be as simple :
a perruche is smaller than a perroquet
yet GDT gives parrot for perruche
and perroquet for paraquet
while yourdictionary.com gives : parakeet for perruche
and wordreference.com gives : female parrot or budgerigar!
maybe somebody has the final word on this (litterally)

: I agree! A solution might be to double-check the species latin name, if that's available
