Most Popular
The People differ in their opinions that are rather like parrots. Some look so parrot. Others believe that the most common in pet shops. Some talk is most popular in this country or that, but of all the parrots in the world, the 5 most popular is usually referred to them.
1. Parakeets: The common magpie, parrot to be exact, Australia, and is often chosen as pets for children or those who are beginners in the care of birds, in part because of its low price. Colorful little "parakeets" are robust, require little space and maintenance are much lower than larger birds. They are very intelligent, and well content to whistle or sing softly, some do learn words. The name "Parrot" comes the aboriginal name for Australia for the parrot. It means "eat well", but most of the "Budgie" The owners are horrified to hear. Among the many parrots in the world, this is probably the least expensive, both the initial and maintenance costs.
2. Nymphs: Another case of Australia, these averages parrots are known for sophisticated whistling and singing. As can be taught to speak, many people find that the birds prefer to whistle and mimic random sounds, or even a ringing cell phone. A drawback of the cockatoos is a powdery substance used to keep the wings waterproof, so they often find the owners of dust fingers after handling birds.
3. Conures Sun: Among the world's parrots, Sun Conures are one of the brightest. Its plumage is red, orange, yellow, blue and green. Conures Sun has been known to speak OK, but beware! These parrots often scream and yell instead of talk. Its 12-inch length means it will need a cage smaller than the larger parrots but you and your family may need earplugs. If you train your Sunnie to lower your voice, can enjoy their antics, as these parrots tend to be playful.
4. Budgerigars, parakeets Pacific in particular, are one of the smallest Parrots known the world - about 4 inches long! They are also one of the most pernicious and most courageous of all the parrots in the world. These small parrots learn to speak with one voice that sounds like a robot. This little voice, size and does not scream, make it ideal for those who need a quiet companion.
5. Africa gray African gray parrot is probably the most intelligent parrot in the world, and indeed of all birds. These parrots are not as colorful as some. They are mainly gray, as its name suggests. They have bright red or brown tail, although according to the subspecies. African Gray excelled in mimicry, often learning as much as 1-2000 words. They learn from other sounds, too, and can quickly learn to imitate a jet engine if you you walk into an airport with them. Among the many parrots in the world, these may be the most demanding. As your toddler, these birds are bored and you want to know their owners. If you are looking for a parrot intellectual, loyal and affectionate, the African Gray is probably a good choice.
How different are the parrots?
In total, the parrots of the world number one, more than 350 different species and subspecies! Because of habitat loss, climate change, hunting and trade of live birds as pets, some parrots have disappeared. Other are designated as threatened or species are "endangered" list.
Life expectancy
People who buy a parrot, make a commitment that is likely to persist throughout life and beyond. Most parrot owners have 20 years of age or older, and parrots usually live Hope for over 50 years. Live almost 100 years Some. Added to the long life expectancy, many parrots world tend to be linked to one person. If that person breaks the link, somehow, the bird may die.
Before asking a parrot to be his running mate, I think carefully. The bird you may survive.
