"Parrots or psittacines is an order, the Psittaciformes, of birds that includes about 350 species. They are usually grouped into two families: the Psittacidae (true parrots) and the Cacatuidae (cockatoos), but there are other classifications, and some sources divide parrots into three families classifying lories and lorikeets as a family rather than a subfamily. Cockatoos differ from the other parrots in having an crest of feathers on their head, a gall bladder, and a number of other characteristics. The term "true parrot" is not used by the majority of bird keepers, biologists and lay people and is a source of confusion.
Generally, all members of the order have an upright stance and a characteristic curved beak, strong legs, and strong clawed feet. All parrots are zygodactyl, with two toes at the front of each foot and two at the back. Parrots, together with the Corvidae (crows), are generally considered the most intelligent of the birds. Most parrots make nests in tree holes (or nestboxes in captivity), have white eggs, and are minimally or not sexually dimorphic. Parrots are altricial (their young are helpless at birth) and the larger species breed slowly.
Parrots can be found in most warm regions of the world, including India, southeast Asia, Southern regions of North America, South America and west Africa; however, the Kea lives in the snowy alpine areas of New Zealand. By far the greatest number of parrot species come from Australasia, South America, Central America and Africa. Generally parrots and their habitats are in decline, and several species of parrot have become extinct in the last few hundred years. No parrot's natural range currently extends into the United States, although the Thick-billed Parrot and the extinct Carolina Parakeet once ranged into southern states.
The diet of parrots consists of seeds, fruit, nectar and pollen and to a lesser degree animal prey. Without question the most important of these to most true parrots and cockatoos are seeds.
Parrots do not have vocal cords, so sound is accomplished by expelling air across the mouth of the bifurcated trachea. Different sounds are produced by changing the depth and shape of trachea. So, talking parrots are really whistling in different variations. Congo African Grey Parrots (CAG) are well known for their ability to "talk", which may be caused by more control, or stronger trachea. But that does not mean that a Cockatiel (Cockatiels are not well known for their talking ability), could have a greater vocabulary than an African Grey Parrot."
