Did you know that parrots are part of the family of psittacines? They are classified in the order Psittaciformes and are found in the subtropical and tropical regions. There are 92 genera and subclasses within the order, which are classified into three superfamilies: Strigopoidea, Psittacoidea, and Strigopoidea. A colorful bird that is famous for talking and perched on pirates' shoulders, parrots have an amazing range and a great deal of interesting facts. Some of these birds live in the city, including the 550 wild parrots that roam in the neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Queens. In fact, these birds escaped from a shipment headed for the JFK Airport, and are now living wild in the streets of Brooklyn. Parrots are known for their ability to mimic human speech and can even sing. YouTube s show that parrots can also imitate human sounds, including those in spoken language. In fact, the Guinness Book of World Records recorded that a parrot named Puck had the biggest vocabulary of any bird. Twenty-one volunteers supervised Puck to make sure that he knew every word. And he did! That's a staggering vocabulary, and it's impressive to think that a parrot could mimic more than one thousand words! Despite their popularity as pets, many parrot species are threatened with extinction due to commercial practices. Their habitats, particularly in temperate regions, are destroyed. Some species have even been hunted for their feathers and parts of their body, making them an expensive pet. However, despite these risks, the popularity of parrots is not reducing the chances of their survival. This book will give you some interesting facts about parrots, including their habitats.
