Explanation:
Parakeet is a term for any one of a large number of unrelated small to medium sized species of parrot, that generally have long tail feathers. Older spellings still sometimes encountered are paroquet or paraquet.
Parrots, also known as psittacines.
Characteristic features of parrots include a strong, curved bill, an upright stance, strong legs, and clawed zygodactyl feet. Many parrots are vividly coloured, and some are multi-coloured. The plumage of cockatoos ranges from mostly white to mostly black, with a mobile crest of feathers on the tops of their heads. Most parrots exhibit little or no sexual dimorphism. They form the most variably sized bird order in terms of length.
Wikipedia
Parakiitit ovat ymmärtääkseni rakenteeltaan solakoita ja pitkäpyrstöisiä.
mutta "parakiitteihin" kuuluu milloin mitkäkin lajit, täytyy ottaa myös huomioon millä tätä rajaa on yritetty yleensä vetää; yleisesti kohteena on keskistetty ulkonäkö, eli mm. pitkä pyrstö, koukkunokka, ja solakka ulkomuoto.

all Parakeets are true Parrots, and generally make up the small to medium sized members of the species.
