A parrot is any BIRD of the order
Psittaciformes, abundant in the tropics,
especially in Australia and South America.
They are mainly vegetarian, and range in size
from the 8╜cm (3╜inches), pygmy parrot to the
100cm (40inches) Amazon parrot. The smaller
species are commonly referred to as
parakeets. Parrots are very good at imitating
human speech.
