The parrot Parrots live in the forests of South America, where summer lasts all the year round, where leaves are always green. The parrots make their homes in the forest, because there they can find shade in the heat of the day. In summer it is extremely hot in this part of the world, and all the animal dread the heat that comes at noon. But in the forests it is not so hot because of the trees under which animals can hide and survive the enormous heat.
Parrots eat fruit and nuts. They like wild cherries best of all. They are very juicy and tasty and the colour is very beautiful for parrots. But they like them because of the stones. The beak of the parrot is very sharp and it cracks these stones easily and they like doing that a lot. Sometimes when they have nothing to do and it is very hot, they simply sit on a branch and eat wild cherries and crack the stones. They do other things very seldom, unless there are no more stones left. But baby parrots can’t do that yet because their beak is very weak. They have to wait until they get older and more mature.
Parrots like to bathe very much. They fly about till they find water. They dip into the water and splash it over their feathers. Then they sit in the sun till they are dry. In the middle of the day the heat becomes very great. Then parrots fly in the deepest shade. They sit in the trees and sleep. They often have dreams. Sometimes they dream about lots of food for all the animals so that everyone can have something to eat. Sometimes they dream about the sky and being able to fly up very high, because in real life they can’t get higher than the trees. But in the evening, when the sun is going down, they wake up. They eat fruit, go to the water and bathe again. Only after that they go to the rest for the night.
People can tame parrots. The parrot is a very interesting pet, because it can talk. Very often it can repeat what people say and entertain everyone around. That’s one of the reasons why people like parrots. The other reason is that parrots are very beautiful birds, with brightly coloured feathers.
