I own a parrot. In case you aren't familiar, these birds have strong, curved bills, an upright stance and strong legs.
I do not possess a great deal of knowledge regarding parrots although I did own a cockatiel once.
There are actually 393 species in 92 genera that make up the parrot species. 
Does your parrot speak to you?
No it does not. I have a broad billed parrot, who's head is large in proportion to its body.
I bet it is beautiful! Can it be taught to speak?
Yes! It is also sometimes referred to as thick - billed macaw. Macaws are known for talking.
That is so cool! I would love to own a parrot. Are they good pets?
