Parrots are birds of the roughly 350 species in 85 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes, found in most warm and tropical regions. Also known as psittacines (pronounced /?s?t?sa?nz/),[1][2] they are usually grouped into two families: the Psittacidae (true parrots) and the Cacatuidae (cockatoos). Parrots have a pan-tropical distribution with several species inhabiting the temperate Southern Hemisphere as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is found in South America and Australasia.
Characteristic features of parrots include a strong curved bill, an upright stance, strong legs, and clawed zygodactyl feet. Most parrots are predominantly green, with other bright colors, and some species are multi-colored. Cockatoo species range from mostly white to mostly black, and have a mobile crest of feathers on the top of their heads. Most parrots are monomorphic or minimally sexually dimorphic. Extant species range in size from the Buff-faced Pygmy-parrot, at under 10 gm (0.35 oz.) in weight and 8 cm (3.2 inches) in length, to the Hyacinth Macaw, at 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) in length, and the Kakapo, at 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs) in weight. They are the most variably sized bird order in terms of length.
The most important components of most parrots' diets are seeds, nuts, fruit, buds and other plant material, and a few species also eat insects and small animals, and the lories and lorikeets are specialised to feed on nectar from flowers, and soft fruits. Almost all parrots nest in tree holes (or nestboxes in captivity), and lay white eggs from which emerge altricial (helpless) young.
Parrots, along with crows, jays and magpies, are some of the most intelligent birds, and the ability of some parrot species to imitate human voices enhances their popularity as pets. Trapping of wild parrots for the pet trade, as well as other hunting, habitat loss and competition from invasive species, have diminished wild populations, and parrots have been subjected to more exploitation than any other group of birds.[3] Recent conservation measures to conserve the habitats of some of the high-profile charismatic parrot species has also protected many of the less charismatic species living in the ecosystem.
This parrot was spotted in coimbatore ,south india.
Parrots are found on all tropical and subtropical continents including Australia and the islands of the Pacific Ocean, India, southeast Asia, southern regions of North America, South America and Africa. Some Caribbean and Pacific islands are home to endemic species. By far the greatest number of parrot species come from Australasia and South America. The lories and lorikeets range from Sulawesi and the Philippines in the north to Australia and across the Pacific as far as French Polynesia, with the greatest diversity being found in and around New Guinea. The subfamily Arinae encompasses all the Neotropical parrots, including the Amazons, macaws and conures, and range from northern Mexico and the Bahamas to Tierra del Fuego in the southern tip of South America. The pygmy parrots, subfamily Micropsittinae, are a small genus restricted to New Guinea. The subfamily Nestorinae are three species of aberrant parrots from New Zealand. The broad-tailed parrots, subfamily Platycercinae, are restricted to Australia, New Zealand and Pacific islands as far as Fiji. The final true parrot subfamily, Psittacinae, includes a range of species from Australia and New Guinea to the species found in South Asia and Africa. The centre of cockatoo biodiversity is Australia and New Guinea, although some species reach the Solomon Islands (and one species formerly occurred in New Caledonia),[15] Indonesia and the Philippines.
Several parrot species enter the cool, temperate regions of South America and New Zealand. One species, the Carolina Parakeet existed in temperate North America, but was hunted to extinction in the early 20th century. Numerous species have been introduced in areas with temperate climates, and have established stable populations. The Monk Parakeet currently breeds in at least 15 U.S. states.
While a few parrot species are wholly sedentary or fully migratory, the majority fall somewhere between the two, making poorly understood regional movements, some species adopting an entirely nomadic lifestyle.
The most obvious physical characteristic that characterises parrots is their strong, curved, broad bill. The upper mandible is prominent, curves downward, and comes to a point. It is not fused to the skull, which allows it to move independently, and contributes to the tremendous biting pressure these birds are able to exert. The lower mandible is shorter, with a sharp, upward facing cutting edge, which moves against the flat portion of the upper mandible in an anvil-like fashion. Seed eating parrots have a strong tongue which helps to manipulate seeds or position nuts in the bil
NEW LABRET PIERCING
It looks extremely off-center, but it's really not.
I did it myself at first, at 3:30 Saturday morning. It didn't hurt too bad and it didn't bleed AT ALL. I stuck a stud in, but it was an ear stud (with a stationary back) so it was too short. I slept in it anyway.
Woke up later Saturday morning and showed my dad. I said, "No point in trying to hide it all day, so check it out." He didn't notice it until I played with it with my tongue. Then he looked all surprised and I started laughing. He got mad and said, "Don't smile at me! I clearly said no! You and your brother--I always say no and you don't listen. It's like I don't even exist! Don't fkcing talk to me!"
I showed my mom and all she knew my dad was mad but all she said was "How'd you do it?" I told her how--I sterilized a pin with a lighter and I used that. Just like my brother has done all of his piercings and they never get infected. So she was fine.
[Dad still seems a little mad, but he'll get over it. He definitely got over my brother's lip.]
Later that after noon, Monti (brother, in case you still don't know that) took me out to the mall. We bought 16g labret studs and an 18g multi-purpose hoop. Then we went to lunch and when I couldn't get either the studs or the hoop in, I simply took the piercing out altogether. Mo promise to repierce it for me later.
Waaaaaaay later comes around and after a quick run to Giant Eagle and after taking mom and dad to their weekend in a hotel and going to the Steeler game downtown, Monti and I bought oral anesthetic and came home. We tried our best to numb my labret area with the gel and ice, but it was gonna hurt like hell anyway.
He used a sterilized shirt pin (he has a small plastic box FULL of pins) to repierce the already scabbing over and healing hole. It bled and I screamed bloody murder the whole time. We gave it a minute and we decided we wouldn't bother trying to gauge a fresh 18-19g hole to 16g with the labret studs. It took him a good 2-3 minutes to get the damn 18g hoop in, and I was almost crying at this point it hurt so bad.
But now it's in and it's done! I'm gonna let it heal nice and good so I can gauge it later for the studs. I absolutely LOVE it.
P.S. I love my make up in this picture.
Fact: Piercing my labret definitely plumped my bottom lip to twice it's natural size.
