Air is an insulator. Air trapped in the puffed up feathers of the bird is warmed by the birds own body heat and stays trapped close to the birds skin. This is similar to how a divers wet suit works. The water of a wet suit is warmed by the heat of the divers body and is trapped within the space between the skin and the material of the wet suit which insulates the diver from the much colder water surrounding them.

Your parakeets puffs his feathers out what does that mean?
All birds will do this to keep warm. When they puff their feathers out, air gets "trapped" within the feathers and warmed up by the birds body heat. It's like a home-made blanket. If your bird is doing this regularly, make sure their cage is nowhere near a draft or a window which is constantly open, but also make sure they are not in direct sunlight, as extensive heat exposure will kill a bird. You can also invest in a hanging bird bed. This is basically a tunnel made of fabric which is placed in their cage, the bird sits inside it to sleep while keeping warm at the same time.
Do Bird swim?
Yes, many birds can swim. How do they do this without messing up their wings/feathers? it's because in a gland near the bird's tail is some oil, when a bird preens he spreads the waterproof oil all over his feathers to keep the bird from drowning. (preening is when a bird straightens out his/her feathers to keep them intact with his/her beak.)
