What is true parrot?

True parrots are a group of around 400 species of birds in the family Psittacidae, which includes parrots, macaws, cockatoos, and lorikeets. They are known for their vibrant plumage, intelligence, and ability to mimic human speech and other sounds.

True parrots are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, with the greatest diversity in South America, Australia, and Southeast Asia. They typically live in forests, woodlands, and savannas, where they feed on fruits, seeds, nuts, and nectar.

True parrots are social and often form strong bonds with their mates and family members. They are highly intelligent and have been known to solve complex problems and even use tools to obtain food.

In captivity, true parrots can make affectionate and entertaining pets, although they require a lot of attention, mental stimulation, and space to fly and play. It is important to provide them with a balanced diet, regular veterinary care, and enrichment activities to keep them healthy and happy.
