They are alike in some ways, yes. They also differ in quite a few ways. Parakeets are much smaller than parrots are. Parrots have a much better vocabulary. They can do more tricks, sound effects, and speak more. Parakeets do talk a little bit. Either way they both make great pets and will live for around seventy years.

Adult parakeets have longer tails. Adult parakeets are larger. Fledgling parakeets have stripes on their whole head extending down to their eyes. The less stripes on its head the older it is.
