Types of parrot in the world

Parrots are a colourful group of birds found in most tropical and subtropical regions where they use cool temperate habitats. Their diet varies depending on the species, but many feed on vegetable matter, fruits, seeds, and nectar and pollen, with some species using their feet to hold onto their food while they feed. Parrots are popular as pets which has led to a thriving and often illegal trade, this added to loss of nesting holes in trees from habitat destruction has resulted in some species being threatened with extinction..
Thank you to all the photographers that submitted photos of  parrots, your pictures can create awareness about the beauty of these birds and the threats that they face. Here we present the Top 25 photographs of parrots.

Our mission is to build a global community around the freedom and beauty of birds in the wild as ambassadors for the natural ecosystems that they depend upon. They are the music, decoration, and character of every terrestrial habitat on the planet and have been around since the dinosaurs. They are the witnesses and ambassadors of the awesome power of nature. The wide availability of good, cheap optics has opened their world to us for the last few decades. Amazing, affordable DSLR cameras with long lenses are delivering brilliant digital bird imagery to online communities.
