Parrots(350 species)

Psittaciformes parrots are a varied group of brightly colored, highly intelligent birds that are mostly found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. With their vivid feathers, powerful, curved beaks, and zygodactyl feet—which have two toes pointing forward and two backward—parrots are recognized for their exceptional grasping and handling abilities. Numerous species, including parakeets, lorikeets, macaws, cockatoos, and lovebirds, are included in this category.

Being exceedingly gregarious, parrots frequently reside in flocks. They are renowned for having extraordinary vocal range, and certain species can even mimic other noises and human speech. Parrots mostly eat seeds, fruits, nuts, and flowers, which they break open with their powerful beaks. Parrots are popular pets because of their intelligence and fun demeanor, but the pet trade, habitat degradation, and poaching are threatening several species in the wild. The survival of these amazing birds in their native habitats depends heavily on conservation initiatives.
