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..
