Parrots, are birds of the roughly 393 species  found in most tropical and subtropical regions  The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australia.

Characteristic features of parrots include a strong, curved bill, an upright stance, strong legs, and clawed feet. Many parrots are vividly coloured, and some are multi-coloured. They form the most variably sized bird order in terms of length. The most important components of most parrots' diets are seeds, nuts, fruit, buds, and other plant material. Almost all parrots nest in tree hollows (or nest boxes in captivity), and lay white eggs from which hatch altricial (helpless) young.

Parrots, are among the most intelligent birds, and the ability of some species to imitate human voices enhances their popularity as pets.
