Hello everybody!!!











Todays parrot..................

Amazon parrot is the common name for a parrot of the genus Amazona. These are medium-size parrots n ranging from South America to Mexico and the Caribbean.

Most Amazon parrots are green, that depend on the species and can be quite vivid. They feed primarily on seeds, nuts, and fruits, supplemented by leafy matter.

Many Amazon parrots have a remarkable ability to mimic human speech and other sounds. Partly because of this they are popular as pets or companion parrots, and a small industry has developed in breeding parrots in captivity for this market. This popularity has led to many parrots being taken from the wild to the extent that some species have become threatened.

Macaws are beautiful, brilliantly colored members of the parrot family. The coloring is suited to life in Central and South American rain forests, with their green canopies and colorful fruits and flowers.

Macaws also have gripping toes that they use to latch onto branches and to grab, hold, and examine items.
There are 17 species of macaws, and several are endangered. These playful birds are popular pets, and many are illegally trapped for that trade. The rain forest homes of many species are also disappearing at an alarming rate.
Of the 17 species of macaws, several are endangered, including the beautiful hyacinth.


We got some of the information from national geographic.
