Parrots

Parrots are intelligent, colorful birds belonging to the family Psittacidae. They are known for their strong curved beaks, zygodactyl feet (two toes facing forward and two backward), and often vibrant plumage. Parrots can mimic sounds and speech, showcasing notable cognitive abilities. They are social creatures, usually forming strong bonds with their owners or flock. Found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, parrots thrive in diverse habitats like rainforests and grasslands. Their diet typically includes seeds, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Due to habitat loss and illegal trading, many parrot species are threatened or endangered.
