PARROT BEAUTY OF NATURE

The parrot plays an important role in its habitat by helping to propagate the forest. Because not all of the seeds consumed are digested, many are passed in the bird's guano over new areas of the forest. Some species eat nectar and are important in the pollination of many species of plants in the tropical forests.

Parrots raised by humans show an amazing ability to mimic people and noisy objects, but in the wild they have never been observed mimicking.
While both sexes of parrots tend to look identical the eclectus parrot is one of the few known vertebrates in which the female is more colorful than the male. She is bright red; he is green.
Lorikeets have tongues that look like little brushes for feeding on nectar.
Because large parrots live so long, and may out live their owners, it is often necessary for owners to put the birds in their wills.
