Can birds swim?

Yes. Penguins, ducks, seagulls and many other birds swim or dive to catch their food.

well if you have a bird like a parkeit or a bird like that probably not

Many land birds can swim. Chickens, for example, are good swimmers - though I don't know if they can keep it up for a long time, as their feathers presumably are not as waterproof as those of water birds. Ratites (large flightless birds such as ostriches) are said to be excellent swimmers. Oddly enough, apparently there are some sea birds that can't swim.
