One moving perhaps around Baltic capital sees parakeet (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

budgerigar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'parakeet' is the definition.
(budgerigar is a kind of parakeet)

'one moving perhaps around baltic capital' is the wordplay.
'one moving perhaps' becomes 'budger' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'baltic capital' becomes 'Riga' (capital of Latvia, a Baltic nation).
'budger' going around 'riga' is 'BUDGERIGAR'.

'sees' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for budgerigar that I've seen before include "Colourful bird" , "Aussie native" , "Bird commonly kept as a pet" , "one on the wing" , "Australian parakeet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
