How do macaws get around?
They usually fly. They are parrots after all... they can kind of use their beak and claws to run around the tree trunks. But other than that, they fly.
Are parakeets better house pets than parrots?
I have a bit of a newsflash for you. Parakeets are parrots. The term "parakeet" is used to describe a medium-sized parrot. Parakeets are smaller, are cheaper to feed, are easier to maintain and need a smaller cage. Parrots are usually better talkers and live longer and need more attention but need more space. The better bird depends on what characteristics you want.

They are alike in some ways, yes. They also differ in quite a few ways. Parakeets are much smaller than parrots are. Parrots have a much better vocabulary.

Why can a macaws TALK?
Many parrots, including, but not limited to the scarlet macaw, can mimic the human voice, along with many other noises such as a cat, alarm, phone, etc. Much like humans, parrots learn their "language" from their parents and flock, so it simply a matter of exposure to the right sounds for them to learn more than their own "words".
Why do people have birds as thire pets?
I'm not sure why people keep finches as pets (all they seem to do is chirp and fly!), but I do know that parrots can be great companions. They're smart, have elaborate personalities, and can be a great joy to come home to after a bad day. Aside from a bit of noise and some mess, they're pretty lowmaintenance. They can get aggressive if not properly stimulated and taken care of, and the bigger ones (Macaws) can put quite a chomp in your finger. Quaker Parrots (or Monk Parakeets) are a small parrot that has great reviews as far as companionship goes. I personally own one, and he's the silliest, funniest, sweetest little thing you'd ever want to have! Almost better than a puppy.
Are male parrots smaller than female parrots?
