Birds are friends of mankind and parrots are one of the many flamboyant birds of the parrot family. They are admired and loved for their beautiful plumage and their ability to learn human language skills.
These birds of prey are found in a wide range of temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions.
Parrots are typically climbers, with a pair of toed feet, two toes forward and two toes back, with toes suitable for gripping.
Parrots have strong, powerful beaks and can eat hard-shelled fruit. Parrots are mainly brightly colored fruit-eating birds of tropical and subtropical forests.
There are two families of parrots in the order Parrotidae and Cockatooidae, which are very diverse, with 82 genera and 358 species, making them one of the largest families of birds.
They are found in tropical regions throughout the world. In the southern hemisphere, some species extend into temperate regions and some species are found on remote islands.
Parrots are most numerous in Latin America and Oceania, and much less numerous in Africa and Asia, although there are some well-known species in Africa, such as the lovebirds.
The best-known Latin American parrots are the various large macaws. The parrots of Oceania are more diverse than those of Latin America and include some of the most familiar, beautiful, and unique parrots.
Among the most familiar parrots are the Australian budgerigar and the sunflower cockatoo.
Most of the parrots are brilliantly colored and have a high pitch range and that distinctive hooked beak makes it easy to identify these beautiful birds.
They generally form small flocks with mates and families, perch on branches in the forest, build their own nests or use tree holes as nests, and eat berries, nuts, seeds, and nectar.
Today we will analyze the behavior of parrots. Can you read what a parrot means when it flies over your head or interacts with you?
A parrot bowing its head to its owner is actually a sign of trust, the parrot wants you to scratch its head or pet it.
This is the same as having a dog or cat, which likes to be stroked and tickled by its owner. Birds grooming each other's feathers is evidence of affection, so we should always stroke our parrots' faces, heads, ears, and crowns.
Regular petting of parrots promotes bonding between parrot and owner, and for birders who want their parrot to get up to speed quickly, regular interaction is the only way to make the parrot trust you more so that the parrot will listen to you.
The average life expectancy of parrots is 50 to 60 years, and large parrots can live to be about 100 years old.
The longest-lived bird in the world is a parrot, an Amazon parrot named Jaimie, born in Liverpool, England on December 3, 1870, died on November 5, 1975, at the age of 105, the oldest life expectancy in birds.
At the same time, we need to have a kind heart for parrots and their environment in the wild, reduce pollution, refuse to catch wild parrots indiscriminately, and protect the environment from people.
