Wouldn't this bird have looked great on Captain Jack Sparrow's shoulder? I've always been amazed at the bright bright colors of parrots. They look like they've been painted by a child with a yen for primary colors. With all the different varieties and color patterns, though, they are one of the most recognizable types of birds. You may not know what type it is, but you always know it's a parrot.

Parrots are also well known for their intelligence and skill at mimicry. When you "parrot" what someone says, you repeat it, over and over. You've probably seen some incredible clip on an animal planet show or on youtube of a parrot making fart noises or playing "dead bird." They seem to be natural performers often dancing or performing other tricks.

As amazing and fun as they can be, if you decide to find a parrot for yourself, pay careful attention to where it came from as many endangered wild species are being captured and smuggled into the country for the pet industry, and often the birds don't survive.
