PARROT

PARROT
Parrots are members of the order Psittaciformes, Parrot found in most tropical and subtropical regions. Parrot are large birds with feathers all over their bodies, and they can live for 25 to 50 years.  
Some parrots, like the kakapo, are nocturnal. They sleep during the day and search for food at night.
Parrots are omnivores, which means that they can eat both meat and vegetation. Most parrots eat a diet that contains nuts, flowers, fruit, buds, seeds and insects. Seeds are their favorite food. They have strong jaws that allow them to snap open nutshells 
Keas use their longer beaks to dig insects out of the ground for a meal, and kakapos chew on vegetation and drink the juices.
Parrots are like most other birds and lay eggs in a nest. Parrots typically lay two to eight eggs at one time. A parrot's egg needs 18 to 30 days before it can hatch, so the parents take turns sitting on the eggs. 
A parrot chick is born with only a thin layer of thin, wispy feathers called down. Parrot chicks are blind for the first two weeks of their lives. At three weeks, they start to grow their adult feathers. The chick will not be fully matured for one to four years, depending on its species.
