What do macaws, conures, parrots, cockatoos, parakeets, cockatiels, lories, lovebirds, caiques, parrotlets, kakarikies, rosellas, and keas have in common?
They’re all different kinds of birds, that are commonly called, “parrots”. There is great variety within the kinds of birds that are called, “parrots” and the different species have different feeding, housing, and other environmental needs.
Though each and every bird is an individual, with their own preferences and temperment, different species tend to have characteristics typical of what they are, before they show their individuality, by who they are.
What kind of parrot, if any, is right for you?
