Courses Plus Student 2,057 PointsWhat code is missing to get through to Bird constructor (parent class)?
Hey all,
Please help me out with this quiz, idk if its me getting overwhelmed with amount of info Im trying to absorb about Java or I just cant get this one somehow...
class Bird { String name;
public Bird(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
class Parakeet extends Bird { public Parakeet(String name) { NEED TO TYPE CODE HERE } }
I already tried some stuff like: super.Bird(); super.name; super("");
and few others... I'd appreciate the help as its really bugging me

Courses Plus Student 2,057 PointsYes... super(name); was the correct answer. Still bit confused but the clouds of mind slowly start to clear out. Thank you for your time ! Hope this helps somebody else along their journey!
