Cute bird.
Parrots, also
known as psittacines are birds of the roughly 372 species
in 86 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes,
found in most warm and tropical regions. The order is
subdivded in three families: the Psittacidae, the Cacatuidae
(cockatoos) and the Nestoridae (New Zealand parrots).
Parrots have a pan-tropical distribution with several
species inhabiting the temperate Southern Hemisphere
as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is found
in South America and Australasia...
