People love parrots for their beautiful and bright colours. They are clever birds. They can learn to talk. They are able to tell if objects are the ‘same’ or ‘different’. There are more than 300 different kinds of parrots.

Like other birds, parrots are animals in the wild. They like flying and they like trees. When people buy them from pet shops, parrots have to live in cages. They feel bad there. So if you keep par rots, you’d better give them a big cage. Remember to feed your parrots with good food and give them fresh water to drink. You can feed them with cooked rice and fruits.
