Almost 400 different parrot species exist, with most of them preferring to live in the tropical biome. They tend to have brightly colored feathers, clawed feet, and strong legs to help them hunt.
Only one species is known to live in alpine environments. It is called a kea, and these birds live in the mountains of the South Island of New Zealand.
Instead of tasting food with their tongue, parrots use the roof of their mouth. Their unusual traits don’t stop there. Some birds have unique dances that they learn, while others can mimic the human language.
Some parrot species can live to be over 80 years old. Several of them are classified as endangered or threatened species – up to one-third of them. The kakapo is at the top of this list, with less than 200 of them known to exist.
Although there are a few notable exceptions, most parrot species look virtually identical when trying to determine gender.
