Interested in parrots? Welcome to the world of the flying
feathers. All types of parrots are brightly colored with a few
exceptions. Some types of parrots are small, cuddly and cute.
Others are bigger and grander than their smaller relations. The
most common types of parrots are green in color and make
wonderful pets. They are usually small in size and have amazing
talking abilities.
There are some types of parrots that are multi-colored. They come
in bright blue, yellow, green, white and mixtures of two or more
of these colors. They are often nicknamed winged rainbows. Some
of these types of parrots are wild while some are docile in
nature. Some make wonderful pets while some are too independent
to be bound down by humans. Some types of parrots are as
dependent on us as our children would be. They love company and
love to mimic human voices.
Almost all types of parrots eat fruits, vegetables, chicken and a
lot of seeds. Most types of parrots tend to become moody and
begin to pluck their feathers if they are not in the right state
of mind or if they are unhealthy. There are many species of
parrots available. The most common types of parrots can be
grouped under the following heads:
PARROTS: Parrots are a very popular group of birds. Parrots are
intelligent animals that depend on some degree of socialization
and will not be good pets unless they are taught and patterned to
be good pets.
MACAWS: Macaws are flamboyant, colorful, intelligent and
captivating birds. However, like ill-trained children, macaws can
be a major embarrassment if they are not well trained.
CONURES: In the wild conures are friendly, peaceful birds and
seldom fight with each other. Conures are known for their sweet
dispositions and playfulness. They definitely have a mind of
their own.
COCKATOOS: Cockatoos make wonderful pets because of their sweet
nature. Cockatoos love to be cuddled and bond very easily with
their human owners.
PARAKEETS: Parakeets have as many variations of their breed as
there are varieties of their color. 'Parakeets' actually means
"small parrots".
COCKATIELS: Cockatiels are ideal for the first time pet owner.
They are characteristically happy and cheerful birds, never moody
or demanding.
BUDGIES: The word "budgie" is short for budgerigar which is a
native green and yellow bird in Australia. They make wonderful
pets because of their relatively gentle, gregarious and
entertaining personalities.
