Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 8,759 PointsWhat code is missing to call through to the Bird's constructor? Could someone tell me what is wrong with my answer here?
class Bird {
String name;
public Bird(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
class Parakeet extends Bird {
public Parakeet(String name) {
super.name=name;
}
}```

class Parakeet extends Bird {
public Parakeet(String name) {
super(name);
}
}```
