Macaws, Amazons, lorikeets, lovebirds, cockatoos and many others are all considered parrots.Shared TraitsThough there is great diversity among these birds, there are similarities as well. All parrots have curved beaks and all are zygodactyls, meaning they have four toes on each foot, two pointing forward and two projecting backward. Most parrots eat fruit, flowers, buds, nuts, seeds, and some small creatures such as insects.Parrots are found in warm climates all over most of the world. The greatest diversities exist in Australasia, Central America, and South America.Popularity as PetsMany parrots are kept as pets, especially macaws, Amazon parrots, cockatiels, parakeets, and cockatoos. These birds have been popular companions throughout history because they are intelligent, charismatic, colorful, and musical. Some birds can imitate many nonavian sounds, including human speech. The male African gray parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is the most accomplished user of human speech in the animal world; this rain forest-dweller is an uncanny mimic.Threats to SurvivalCurrently the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) bans the sale of any wild-caught species, yet the parrots' popularity continues to drive illegal trade.Some parrot species are highly endangered. In other cases, once tame birds have reproduced in the wild and established thriving feral populations in foreign ecosystems.

14 Fun Facts About Parrots

#7: They taste with the roofs of their mouths

Michelle Z. Donahue

January 5, 2016

How much do you know about the psittacines?

raywoo/iStock

After dogs, cats and fish, birds are America’s fourth favorite pet. An estimated 14 million birds live in captivity across the United States, a great many of them parrots. And no wonder: With their captivating colors, acrobatic antics and often silly personalities, these avian characters are hard to resist.

Pet parrots can be incredible if demanding friends, but for people more accustomed to fluffy mammalian companions, they can present some unexpected challenges. The long-lived, intelligent and highly social birds need especially high amounts of attention and enrichment, or else they can pick up bad habits and find themselves bored and stressed to the point where they pluck out their own feathers.

While some pet parrots come from breeders, trade in exotic parrots is big business around the globe, and it contributes significantly to their decline in the wild. Thankfully trafficking in wild birds has been less of a problem in the U.S. since the passage of the 1992 Wild Bird Conservation Act and CITES restrictions on importing exotic species.

Now, in honor of the 14th annual National Bird Day, get a little bird-brained with these 14 facts about parrots:

1. Some Parrots Grind Their Own Calcium Supplements

As a famous research subject, the African grey parrot Alex was said to have the intelligence of a human 5-year-old. Now the psittacine tribe can claim another brainy feat: tool use. Researchers at the University of York and the University of St. Andrews observed captive greater vasa parrots (Coracopsis vasa) using date pits and pebbles to pulverize cockle shells. Male vasas ate the powder and then offered a regurgitated calcium-rich snack to females before mating. Be thankful you get chocolates.

2. Parrot Toes Are Zygodactyl

Like most other birds, parrots have four toes per foot. But instead of the usual three-in-front-one-behind arrangement, parrot toes are configured for maximum grip: two in front and two behind, like two pairs of opposable thumbs. Combined with beaks that can crack even the world’s toughest nuts, their unique feet make them formidable eaters, not to mention dexterous climbers.

3. Polly Wants Mutton, Too

Many parrots are omnivores and will eat pretty much anything—fruit, seeds, nuts, insects and even meat. Some species, like the rainbow-colored lories and lorikeets of the South Pacific, feed almost exclusively on nectar with brush-tipped tongues, though recently even these birds were seen eating meat at feeding stations in Australia. In New Zealand, native kea (Nestor species) were first observed attacking and killing sheep in 1868 and were persecuted as sheep-killers until 1986, when they were granted protected status.

4. Not All Parrots Are Tropical

Of the roughly 350 known species of parrots, most live in the tropical and subtropical regions of Australia, Asia, Central and South America and Africa. But some parrots break that geographic mold. Keas live in alpine regions of New Zealand and nest in ground burrows, while the endangered maroon-fronted parrot (Rhynchopsitta terrisi) dwells at 6,000 feet in the Sierra Madre Oriental Mountains of Mexico.

A popular pet, the African grey parrot is at risk in the wild.

5. A Third of the World's Parrots Face Extinction

Due to a combination of habitat destruction and persistent poaching for the pet trade, more species regularly land on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. A November study, for instance, found that logging has decimated 99 percent of the African grey (Psittacus erithacus) population in Ghana, threatening wild numbers of one of the most iconic parrot species.

6. Parrots Usually Match Their Mates

With a couple of notable exceptions, males and females of most parrot species look virtually identical. It takes a keen eye—and usually a lab test—to tell a boy bird from a girl bird. But some species, like the Solomon Island eclectus (Eclectus roratus), are so different that for many years people thought they were distinct species of birds. Males are bright emerald green with flame-colored beaks, while females top off their crimson and royal blue ensembles with black beaks and a bright scarlet head.

7. Parrots Taste With the Tops of Their Beaks

Though parrots do have some taste glands at the backs of their throats, most of their 300 or so taste buds are located on the roofs of their mouths. Compared with the 10,000 taste buds in a human mouth, the birds' palate may not seem like much, but parrots do show definite preferences for certain foods.

8. The Heftiest Parrot Weighs as Much as a Cat

Parrots cover an incredible range of shapes and sizes. The tiny buff-faced pygmy (Micropsitta pusio) weighs a mere ounce and is about the size of an adult human’s finger. The world’s longest parrot is the brilliant hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), checking in at nearly 3.5 feet from tip to tail. But New Zealand’s flightless, nocturnal kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) wins for weight: A fully grown male can register as much as nine pounds—the average weight of an adult housecat.

9. Your Pet Parrot May Outlive You

Many parrots have near-human lifespans, a consideration many people don’t truly grasp when seeking a parrot as a companion. Larger species like macaws and cockatoos are known to live for between 35 and 50 years. Tarbu, an African grey in England, lived to the ripe old age of 55. The current oldest parrot is 82-year-old Cookie, a Major Mitchell’s cockatoo (Lophochroa leadbeateri) that resides at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.

Feathers from the scarlet macaw must be full of psittacofulvins.

10. Parrot Feathers Contain Antibacterial Pigments

A parrot’s brilliant plumage has a special defense against damage: Psittacofulvins, a bacteria-resistant pigment that only parrots are known to produce, give the birds' feathers their red, yellow and green coloration. In a 2011 study in Biology Letters, researchers exposed different colors of feathers to a feather-damaging bacteria strain and found that the pigments helped protect the glorious plumage from degradation.

11. Some Parrots Migrate

Though most species occupy a home range throughout the year, the swift parrot (Lathamus discolor) and the orange-bellied parrot (Neophema chrysogaster) are known to migrate each year across the Bass Strait between Australia and Tasmania. Both species are critically endangered.

12. The World Record Holder Knew More Than 1,700 Words

Though parrots are generally famous for being chatty, Puck, a cheery blue parakeet, landed in the 1995 Guinness Book of World Records for his vocabulary skills, with a recognized set of 1,728 words. In addition to speaking, Amazon parrots are renowned singers, including Groucho, who entertained TV audiences with a rendition of “How Much is that Doggie in the Window” in 2010.

13. The Black Palm Is the Panda of Parrots

Native to rainforests in the South Pacific, the black palm cockatoo is one of the most difficult birds to breed and raise in captivity. Chicks often die around one year of age—even wild pairs have difficulty successfully rearing chicks. The causes for their reproductive troubles are still unknown but may be related to their photosensitive skin, which reacts to natural sunlight.

14. A Parrot-Proof Tracker Is on the Horizon

Little is known about wild parrot behavior, in part because the canopy-dwelling birds are hard to see and follow. Also, GPS-tracking studies of parrots are extremely uncommon, since the birds are adept at removing foreign objects from their bodies. But a 2015 study published in The Auk might help scientists better track these elusive animals. By encasing GPS trackers in bite-proof plastic, the researchers were able to track a group of keas in New Zealand without any obvious ill effects on the birds.

Parrot Facts: Habits, Habitat & Species

Parrots are members of the order Psittaciformes, which includes more than 350 bird species, including parakeets, macaws, cockatiels and cockatoos, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). Though there are many types of parrots, all parrot species have a few traits in common. For example, to be classified as a parrot, the bird must have a curved beak, and its feet must be zygodactyl, which means there are four toes on each foot with two toes that point forward and two that point backward. SizeBecause the parrot order includes so many different species, parrot sizes vary widely. Parrots can range in size from about 3.5 to 40 inches (8.7 to 100 centimeters) and weigh 2.25 to 56 ounces (64 g to 1.6 kg), on average. The world's heaviest type of parrot is the kakapo, which can weigh up to 9 lbs. (4 kg). The smallest parrot is the buff-faced pygmy parrot, which is only about 3 inches (8 cm) tall and weighs just 0.4 ounces (10 g). Habitat Most wild parrots live in the warm areas of the Southern Hemisphere, though they can be found in many other regions of the world, such as northern Mexico. Australia, South America and Central America have the greatest diversity of parrot species. Not all parrots like warm weather, though. Some parrots like to live in snowy climates. A few cold-weather parrots are maroon-fronted parrots, thick-billed parrots and keas.With their colorful plumage and ability to mimic human speech, parrots are very popular pets. Some parrot pets have escaped their owners and bred in unusual areas. For example, a popular bird in the pet trade, the monk parakeet, a native of subtropical South America, now resides in the United States after some of them escaped and reproduced in the wild.(Image credit: valex61 Shutterstock) Habits Most parrots are social birds that live in groups called flocks. African grey parrots live in flocks with as many as 20 to 30 birds.Many species are monogamous and spend their lives with only one mate. The mates work together to raise their young. Parrots throughout the flock communicate with one another by squawking and moving their tail feathers. Some parrots, like the kakapo, are nocturnal. They sleep during the day and search for food at night. DietParrots are omnivores, which means that they can eat both meat and vegetation. Most parrots eat a diet that contains nuts, flowers, fruit, buds, seeds and insects. Seeds are their favorite food. They have strong jaws that allow them to snap open nutshells to get to the seed that's inside. Keas use their longer beaks to dig insects out of the ground for a meal, and kakapos chew on vegetation and drink the juices. OffspringParrots are like most other birds and lay eggs in a nest. Some species, though, lay their eggs in tree holes,ground tunnels, rock cavities and termite mounds. Parrots typically lay two to eight eggs at one time. A parrot's egg needs 18 to 30 days of incubation before it can hatch, so the parents take turns sitting on the eggs. A parrot chick is born with only a thin layer of thin, wispy feathers called down. Parrot chicks are blind for the first two weeks of their lives. At three weeks, they start to grow their adult feathers. The chick will not be fully matured for one to four years, depending on its species. Classification/taxonomy According to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), the taxonomy of parrots is:Kingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: ChordataClass: AvesOrder: PsittaciformesFamily: PsittacidaeGenera and species: More than 60 genera and more than 350 species. Species that are popular as pets include Ara macao (scarlet macaw), Aratinga holochlora (green parakeet), Myiopsitta monachus (monk parakeet), Poicephalus senegalus (Senegal parrot), Nymphicus hollandicus (cockatiel) and Cacatua alba (white cockatoo). Conservation statusMany species of parrots are endangered. The kakapo (Strigops habroptila) is a critically endangered parrot, according to the Kakapo Recovery Organization. There are fewer than 150 left. The there are only 50 orange-bellied parrots (Neophema chrysogaster), found in Australia, making it one of the most endangered parrots in the world. The yellow-headed Amazon (Amazona oratrix) is another endangered parrot, though there are more of them than kakapos or orange-bellied parrots. According to International Union for Conservation of Nature, there are 7,000 yellow-headed Amazons left in the wild.Gray parrots are known for their intelligence. Researchers working with one gray parrot, named Alex, found that he could communicate with a vocabulary of 150 words. (Image credit: © Sandra Mikolasch) Other factsParrots are very good mimics and can copy sounds that they hear in their environment; they can even copy human words and laughter. The African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is one of the best at this and one named Alex (1965-2007) was reported to be the world's smartest parrot.The kakapo is one of the world's longest-living birds; they can live more than 90 years.Cockatoos have a group of feathers on top of their heads that they can move. When on full display, these feathers resemble a mohawk. The cockatoo can also retract the feathers so they lay flat against their heads.

There are nearly 400 known species of Parrots, all of which are in the taxonomic order Psittaciformes.Researchers divide these birds into three primary groups, or superfamilies. The three superfamilies are the true Parrots, the cockatoos, and the New Zealand Parrots. Read on to learn about the Parrot. Description of the Parrot Though many species are quite similar, Parrots are an immensely diverse group of birds. They come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. As a whole, all of them have curved bills and zygodactyl toes, with two facing forward and two facing backward.Their coloration varies from species to species, and some are orange, green, blue, yellow, red, black, white, and more. They range in size from just 3 inches to over 36 inches long! The heaviest species, the kakapo, weighs up to 8 pounds.Interesting Facts About the ParrotThere are simply hundreds of different and unique Parrot species across the globe. Learn more about some specific species of these remarkable birds and their interesting traits below.Spix’s Macaw – This species is famously the most endangered Parrot species in the world. In fact, these birds inspired the movie Rio. Researchers believe that this bright blue bird is extinct in the wild, and only a few populations live in zoos. The IUCN lists this species as Critically Endangered.African Grey Parrot – The African Grey species has one of the largest vocabularies of any Parrot One individual bird, named Alex, learned well over 100 different words. He could also identify objects, and could perform simple addition!Scarlet Macaw – Scarlet macaws are one of the more well-known species of these birds. They are bright red, with yellow shoulders and blue wings. In the wild, these birds live throughout Central and South America, but they are also common pets.Hyacinth Macaw – This species is the largest species of macaw, and the longest Parrot in the world. From head to tail, this birds measures up to 3.3 ft. (40 in.) long! This bright blue bird is also the second heaviest Parrot species, behind the kakapo of New Zealand.Habitat of the ParrotThese birds live in a wide variety of habitats, but most of them inhabit tropical or subtropical regions. Inside these requirements, habitat preference varies from species to species.Some of the different types of habitats that these birds live in include woodlands, rainforests, palm forests, savannas, grasslands, desert edges, scrubland, and more. Though some species live in more urban areas, like parks, gardens, and farmland, most inhabit undisturbed forests.Distribution of the ParrotThese birds live primarily in the southern hemisphere, throughout tropical and subtropical regions. In the Americas, they live from Mexico into Central and South America, and the surrounding islands. They also inhabit Sub-Saharan Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the surrounding Australasian islands.The greatest number of species lives in Australia and its surrounding islands, as well as South America. Different species have different ranges, and some populations overlap with those of other species.Diet of the ParrotWhile each species has a different diet, most are herbivores. They eat a variety of fruits, seeds, berries, nuts, buds, nectar, and pollen. Some species also eat insects and other invertebrates or small animals.These birds share a single characteristic related to foraging, their strong, curved beaks. They use their beaks to break open tough seeds and nuts. Most species specialize on a single type of food, like seeds and nuts, nectar, or even insects.Parrot and Human InteractionThere are several different conflicts between humans and wild Parrots, all of which are quite detrimental to the birds. Perhaps the most damage human activity to these birds is habitat destruction, regardless of species or region.Habitat destruction for logging, farming, or spreading population, all result in a great many animal species losing their homes. Other detrimental human activities include pollution, climate change, hunting, feral cats, dogs, and rats, as well as capture for the pet trade.DomesticationParrots are wild animals, and humans have not domesticated them in any way.Does the Parrot Make a Good PetEven though these birds are relatively common pets, they rarely make good ones. These birds are incredibly intelligent and long-lived, which means they require lots of time and commitment. Some large Parrot species live up to 80 years or more! This makes them a generational pet, passing down from owner to owner.They are loud, destructive, and the veterinary bills are incredibly expensive. Unless you have the time to give your bird attention for hours per day, and the money to properly care for it, this bird is probably not the right choice for you.Parrot CareIn zoos and as pets, Parrots need lots of space to exercise and explore. They are social birds, and they are usually very intelligent.Their enclosures must be very large, and feature a wide variety of toys and materials for them to chew and tear. In addition to environmental enrichment in the form of toys and puzzles, these birds also need lots of attention and positive reinforcement training. They also need a variety of perches and climbing opportunities.Their diet varies from species to species, but most eat a commercially produced seed-based feed that you can supplement with fruits and vegetables.Behavior of the ParrotWhile each species is different, most are social birds that live in flocks. They are usually arboreal, or live up in the trees, though some species do walk on the ground while foraging.These birds mostly remain in the canopy level of the forest, and fly from tree to tree, or use their beaks and feet to climb around. During the breeding season, pairs normally break off from the rest of the flock.Reproduction of the ParrotThough some Parrots build nests, most species use hollows or cavities to reproduce. The number of eggs laid in a clutch varies from species to species. However, in most species the female incubates the eggs for 2.5 to 4 weeks, the male brings her food.Some species of do not fledge until they are 4 months old, and remain dependent on their parents for 102 months after they begin to fly.TAGSAfrican Grey ParrotcockatooHyacinth MacawkakapoNew Zealand ParrotparrotScarlet Macawtrue ParrotCydni Oldham RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR ArtiodactylaRed Angus ChordataPaint Horse ActinopterygiiBlack Sole Expert Recommendations Dog CareBest Dog Costumes Dog CareBest Dog Clippers Dog CareBest Dog Chews Dog CareBest Interactive Dog Toys Expert RecommendationBest Cat Litter Boxes Dog CareBest Dog Backpack Dog CareBest Dog Door Dog CareBest Dog Vitamins Dog CareBest No Pull Dog Harness Dog CareBest Raw Dog FoodAnimals.NET aim to promote interest in nature and animals among children, as well as raise their awareness in conservation and environmental protection.
