There are over 370 species in the order Psittaciformes and they are mostly found in tropical areas of the Southern Hemisphere. From grand macaws to petite parakeets, the parrot family is made up of many diverse species. Despite all the diversity, all parrots have their similarities; like beaks that have curved bills. Another shared trait is that all are zygodactyls which means that they have two toes facing front and two pointing back. These particular birds make popular companions because they are colorful, intelligent, and quite musical. Most even have the ability to imitate human speech and learn how to talk.
Fast Facts
Length: can vary from 8cm to 100cm
Weight: 60 grams to 1.5 kilograms
Average lifespan (in the wild): 70 to 80 years
Some species of parrots, like the Blue-Throated Macaw, are considered to be endangered, where as others, like the Green Parakeet are thriving in many areas of the United States. Since there are some species on the verge of extinction, many avian pet owners have worked to step up efforts of breeding to offset the wild caught bird imports.
Traits and Behavior
These charismatic birds come in a wide array of colors like gray, red, blue, and green. Parrots are very intelligent and can be taught many things from talking to simple commands. Interaction and friendship is vital to keeping a parrot happy if it is to be kept as a domestic pet. They love to chew and call out while playing and socializing. As pets, they need plenty of attention from their owner and toys to occupy their time. If they should get bored or feel unwanted by their caregiver they will pluck out their feathers when stressed.
Did You Know?
Birds have a larynx like humans, but they also have a syrinx that seems to be the primary organ that allows them to make sounds. The African Grey parrot is probably the best known for its incredible ability to not only copy human voices but also imitate sounds from their surrounding environment.
Many species of parrots can live over 50 years, which means these birds will require much more of a commitment than that of other common pets like dogs or cats. Sometimes a parrot has to be put into their owner's living will since they can outlive their owner in certain situations.
Parrots are magnificent creatures and owning one as a pet can be a very rewarding but also expensive experience. Use a pet price comparison site like The Animal Zone to save money and pay the lowest price for your pet products.
