Parrots are among the most vulnerable groups of birds, are susceptible to a number of infectious diseases, and are among the most traded birds listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), and the illegal trade has already prompted the sale of more than 19 million parrots. Since 1975, this movement has helped lead to the existence of many groups of parrots outside their local distributions, most notably the fiercely angry pink parrot.
Now known to breed in more than 35 countries across five continents, parrots are birds of approximately 393 species in 92 genera, found in most tropical and subtropical regions. Also, the greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australia.Distinctive features of parrots include a strong, curved beak, and strong legs. Many parrots are vividly colored, and some are multicolored. The most important components of most parrot meals are seeds, nuts, fruit, buds, and other plant matter, and some species sometimes eat animals.
Almost all parrots live in a nest in a hollow tree, and parrots, with crows, crows, and magpies, are among the most intelligent birds, and the ability of some species to imitate human voices enhances their popularity as pets. Hunting wild parrots has resulted in the pet trade, as well as hunting and loss of life. Habitats and competition from invasive species, reduced numbers of wild animals, with parrots being exploited more than any other group of birds, and measures taken to conserve the habitats of some highly charismatic species, have protected many less attractive species living in the same systems environmental.
This study indicates that there are very close relationships between the genetic sequences of Asian parrots, across distinct regions globally, and that there is a multiple spread coming to West Africa, and scientists say that the successful creation of invasive species such as the pink parrot can be devastating to small island parrots or species endangered, not only through competition for resources, but by exposing them to a virus such as BFDV that may pose an important additional threat, to species already experiencing stresses of low genetic diversity and habitat loss.
