I have always thought that Parrots were so cool. What do you think?
Parrots are awesome!  I love that that have a strong, curved bill, an upright stance, and such strong legs! Their clawed zygodactyl feet are so cute!
They are! Do you know if they are any good at flying?
I don't know how well they can fly - I do know that they nest in tree hollows and lay white eggs 
Interesting! I wonder how they are able to repeat what people say. 
It's a mystery to me!  There is quite a variety of parrots is in South America and Australasia.
Oh really? How many kinds?
Parrot
Parrots, also known as psittacines , are birds of the roughly 393 species in 92 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes, found in most tropical and subtropical regions. The order is subdivided into three superfamilies: the Psittacoidea ("true" parrots), the Cacatuoidea (cockatoos), and the Strigopoidea (New Zealand parrots). Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere, as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australasia.
