The term "parakeet" is a generalised term to cover numerous species of smaller, long-tailed parrots. Usually, it is applied to the budgerigar, or budgie, a small native Australian parrot.
The word tends to be used in countries outside of the birds' native lands. For example, the term "parakeet" is never used in Australia to refer to budgies, lorikeets or cockatiels, yet these birds are commonly known as "parakeets" overseas.

If the parakeet is also holding its wings out away from its body, the parakeet is too hot. You can spritz the bird LIGHTLY with cool, NOT cold, water and it will help. If you have a bird bath you can attach to the cage, or that the parakeet can use inside your home, that would be good also. Never put a parakeet in direct sunlight on days when the weather is 100 degrees F or over. They are also sensitive to cold. If the bird is wheezing but is not holding its wings out, it might be a good idea to take it to a veterinarian, because it may be sick.
