Parrots can be really amusing creatures to have in a home. If well trained and looked after, they will live for a very, very long time. They are brilliant at learning things quickly which of course, includes mimicking most noises they hear. A few of the breeds are exceptionally good talkers with the lovely African Grey parrot being the best of them. Below are a few fun and interesting facts about these delightful, often gregarious feathered friends: There are around 353 different species of these lovely, brightly feathered birds in the world There are two families of parrots – the Cacatuidae (cockatoos) and the Psittacidae (true parrots) Parrots are known as zygodactylous which is a bird that has the first and fourth toes pointing backwards whereas the second and third point forward » Grey parrots are also called “jakos” or African Greys Parrots in the wild live on seeds, fruits, nuts, buds and lots of other plants found in their natural habitats – they will however, eat any meat they find in the rainforest too! » Parrots are incredibly intelligent birds »A parrot's natural habitat is tropical or subtropical – they can be found in many rainforests of the world »Parrots are popular pets because they are beautiful to look at, they have gorgeous bright plumage and they are very affectionate and sociable birds to keep in a home environment » The first parrot was imported to the UK in 1504 although the Romans kept them way before this date » In many species of parrots, the males and females are identical – blood tests need to be done to tell them apart 6 Likes 1 Share |

klexycole: Ours do not talk bold like human when she was alive but she whistle in human voice You don't need to listen very well as a visitor before you could hear her talking about you. There are some things she say just like human,for example.... mofe Jeun , in Yoruba which means, I want to eat.She call my name like a human,azeez and my brother tun de. When she had to communicate longer than just calling our names,she whistle but you can hear everything she is saying. The only Interesting thing about parrot is when they talk. The number of years they have lived and human interaction determine how clearly they can speak like human. 3 Likes 1 Share |

...parrots do not make good pets for most people because
of their natural wild instincts such as screaming and
chewing. Although parrots can be very affectionate and
cute when immature, they often become aggressive when
mature (partly due to mishandling and poor training) and
may bite, causing serious injury. For this reason, parrot
rescue groups estimate that most parrots are
surrendered and rehomed through at least five homes
before reaching their permanent destinations or before
dying prematurely from unintentional or intentional
neglect and abuse. Sadly, the parrot's ability to mimic
human words and their bright colors and beauty prompt
impulse buying from unsuspecting consumers 1 Like |

2tek:The parrot is so perfect with speech to an extent that if u don't live with us you can hardly diffrenciate wen she speaks and when we speak ...like for instance if she hears a knock on the gate she responds by saying " good morning how now?" A first timer will be quick to respond to her. 13 Likes 2 Shares |
