The Many Types of Parrots

There are many types of parrots and they all have their own unique style and personality.

Unlike other types of pet birds, parrots have:

Strong curved bills
An upright stance
Clawed feet with two toes pointing forward and two toes pointing backward
The ability to learn to mimic human speech and other sounds

If you are looking for a bird that likes to be handled and may learn to talk or mimic sounds, then a parrot might be the right type of pet bird for you (instead of a Canary or Finch, for example).

Below are the many different species of parrots commonly kept as pets, organized by size.
