Not only that, they like to nest in the hollows of trees and they lay white eggs and hatch helpless young.
They like to nest in tree hollows and they lay white eggs and hatch altricial young. I think I might get one as a pet soon.
Parrots are such cool birds, especially how they can mimic sounds. That's neat, did you know some scientists think parrots may actually understand some of the words they mimic? There was one parrot that I read about and he seemed so smart. I think it was named Alex. That's interesting. Did you also know, parrots make up about 393 species? That's so many, I never would've thought there could be that many species of them. You can tell it's a parrot if they have a strong curved bill, they have an upright stance and clawed zygodactyl feet. Yeah they are really easy to distinguish from other birds. Most of them eat nuts and seeds but there are a few species that sometimes eat animals. That's pretty interesting, isn't it? I've fed some before so I know that they usually love seeds.
Almost all parrots nest in tree hollows (or nest boxes in captivity), and lay white eggs from which hatch altricial (helpless) young.
