The Behavior of a Sick Parakeet. Parakeets behave differently when they are sick. Your pet parakeet is an important member of your family. If your little bird remains healthy, he can survive 5 to 10 years, sometimes up to 15. Parakeets come from tropical regions worldwide and need to be housed in warm temperatures.our parakeet has a fast metabolism that requires him to eat often, and he will lose weight quickly if he is eating less. If he is sick and refuses food or water, he will quickly become weak. A parakeet is not likely to survive more than 48 hours without eating and drinking.
