What is the spiritual meaning of a parakeet?

Dude, you are reaching way too deep. You may as well contemplate water or rocks or the air. Better yet matter itself, or existence vs.nonexistence. The only real truth is that a parakeet is absolutely perfect at being a parakeet. Not a bear or turtle or fish comes even close to being a parakeet. When you realize this, it becomes apparent that you as a human, are also absolutely perfect at being a human. Hopefully this will help you find your place in, and be at peace with the Universe. Much Love.

Do parakeet colors change as they mature or start out lighter and darken as they get older?

If you are referring to their feathers getting darker or lighter as they mature then no. But in normal types of parakeets, such as the normal greens and blues, they have bars on their faces going down to their beaks that will vanish as they mature. If you are asking about their Cere (the fleshy part on their beak) It can be quite complicated. In MALE babies the cere will be a TRANSLUCENT pink with maybe some OPAQUE white around the nostrils. For FEMALES the cere will be mostly an OPAQUE white and maybe little blue. This is not always set in stone however. When they mature, males will have BLUE ceres and when it is breeding season they will turn an even darker blue. Keep in mind that this is for NORMAL parakeets; not lutinos or albinos. In normal female parakeets, the cere can range in colors. The femal's cere may be brown, white, pink, and various shades inbetween. When a female enters breeding season their cere will get a crusty look and will be a dark brown. After breeding season has passed the cere crust will fall off.
