This question has probably been asked since the first time the flu made someone sick. After all, cold and flu season occurs when the weather is cold, so there must be a connection, right? Well, not quite. No matter how many times your mother and grandmother told you not to go out in the cold because you would catch a cold or the flu, it just doesn't work that way. Answer:
The truth is, the flu and the common cold are caused by viruses. People get sick more often in the winter because they are exposed to each other more in the winter than in the summer. When it is cold outside, people tend to stay inside and are more likely to spread germs to one another. Also, because school is in session, kids are around each other all day and are not afraid to share their germs. With so many people in such close contact, the likelihood of passing germs is much higher when it is cold outside than when it is warm and people are outdoors. There is also evidence now that viruses spread more easily through dry air. When it is cold outside, the air is drier both outdoors and inside (where people have their heaters on) which may make it easier for germs to pass from one person to another. But it is not the cold weather that causes the cold, it just might make it easier to spread the virus.
In tropical areas, where it does not get cold, the common cold and flu season generally occurs during the rainy season. But again, these illnesses are not caused by the rain. They are just more prevalent because people come in closer contact with each other than they do during the dry season.
A virus is what makes you sick with the flu or a common cold. Cold air is known to make Asthma worse. Just being in the cold, unless you are there long enough to be hypothermic, or have frostbite, does not make you sick, that is a myth. We'd have a whole lot of Alaskan natives sick since they breathe cold air much of the year if it did.
While cold is the trigger for "cold urticaria" it is not an "allergen" in the classic sense.

With the build up of mucus in the lungs it would make it harder to breathe then you would have a cold and start coughing and then it would make stress on your breathing and you would not inhale as much air as you normaly would.
probably because it is always out in the open and it is wet and breathing in cold air
It shallows breathing bcause the cold temperature causes your lungs to contract
Your parakeet may be cold or sick. If it is cold, you may have it too close to air conditioning or something that has cold drafts. If you get your parakeet wet enough and don't dry it, it could catch a chill and die. Sometimes they are simply nervous and will sit and puff out their feathers. You should take it to a veterinarian to make sure it is not sick.
cold air
No.
Being sick comes from the passing of germs between individuals. The common cold can be passed just with germs in the air.
