A parakeet is any one of many small- to medium-sized species of parrot, in multiple genera, that generally has long tail feathers. Most species belong to the genus Pyrrhura.
== Etymology and naming == The name parakeet is derived from the French word perroquet, which is reflected in some older spellings that are still sometimes encountered, including paroquet or paraquet. However, in modern French, perruche is used to refer to parakeets and similar-sized parrots.
