4.Food
The diet of parrots consists of seeds, fruit, nectar, pollen, buds, and sometimes arthropods and other animal prey. The most important of these for most parrots are seeds; A foot is sometimes used to help holding large seeds in place. The lories are primarily nectar and pollen consumers, and have tongues with brush tips to collect this source of food, as well as some specialised gut adaptations to accommodate this diet. Many other species also consume nectar as well when it becomes available. In addition to feeding on seeds and flowers, some parrot species prey on animals, especially invertebrate larvae.
5.Frequently bred parrots in the world are coming from Australia, budgies (Melopsittaccus undulatus).

6.
One of the reasons why parrots are so popular is their remarkable talent for voice modulation. Many parrots can imitate human speech or other sounds.
Parrots don't have vocal cords, so sound is accomplished by expelling air across the mouth of the bifurcated trachea. Different sounds are produced by changing the depth and shape of trachea. African Grey Parrots of all subspecies are known for their superior ability to imitate sounds and human speech. This ability has made them prized as pets from ancient time to the present.
Parrots are almost famous for the fact that in captivity they can live to a ripe old age: it is known that an African gray parrot (Psittaccus erithacus) survived 50 years, and many cockatoos reaches more than 100 years old.
