Parrots
Parrots are very intelligent birds with curved beaks.
There are over 300 types of parrots and many of them are very colorful. The non-colorful parrots tend to be white or gray in color. Under ideal conditions some parrots can live over 80 years!
Parrots can imitate human speech; they can say words and even sing. An important distinction to make is that when a parrot talks they are merely repeating sounds, they are not communicating the way you and I would during a conversation.
A parrot’s habitat is a significant contributing factor to the life of a parrot. The habitat determines what a parrot’s prey can be, what it can eat, and how it will live.
Prey: The habitat of a parrot determines what prey is available in the area. If a bird lives in a forest, then small animals such as worms and insects are likely to be found there. If the bird lives near water then small fish might be available for them to eat.
Eating: In order for something to be considered food for a parrot, it needs to have enough protein in it that the parrot can digest easily. Plant matter does not contain enough protein for this purpose unless they higher protein sources such as seeds.
