They are very playful birds. Most of them have orange cheeks, except for albino cockatiels. Albino cokcatiels have all white feathers and red eyes. The most common cockatiel is the common grey, which is grey except for its cheeks(orange), wings(the bottom part is white), sometimes heads(if male, yellow-whitish), and the tail(if female, will have yellow stripes across the bottom.

Umm...I don't know what a parroit is so I'm going to assume that you mean parrot. An interesting fact abotu a parrot is that they are one of the smartest creatures alive. ONce a parrot was taught how to add numbers, and no, not just memorize answers, but actually add! There is also this one case in the news where a babysitter was watching a baby for some hours, and then she left the baby alone for a little while, but the parrot was in the room with the baby. The baby started choking with only the parrot watching. So the parrot started freaking out saying "baby" "baby" "baby" (somehting along the lines of that) and the parrot flew into the other room with the baby sitter and it kept ssquaking "baby". So the babysitter went to look at the baby and the baby was choking and the babysitter stopped the baby from choking. Thus the parrot saved the babys life.

  1. Macaws are beautiful, brilliantly colored members of the parrot family.
  2. Many macaws have vibrant plumage. The coloring is suited to life in Central and South American rain forests, with their green canopies and colorful fruits and flowers. The birds boast large, powerful beaks that easily crack nuts and seeds, while their dry, scaly tongues have a bone inside them that makes them an effective tool for tapping into fruits.
  3. Macaws also have gripping toes that they use to latch onto branches and to grab, hold, and examine items. The birds sport graceful tails that are typically very long.
  4. Macaws are intelligent, social birds that often gather in flocks of 10 to 30 individuals. Their loud calls, squawks, and screams echo through the forest canopy. Macaws vocalize to communicate within the flock, mark territory, and identify one another. Some species can even mimic human speech.
  5. Flocks sleep in the trees at night, and in the morning they may fly long distances to feed on fruit, nuts, insects, and snails. Some species also eat damp soil, which may help to neutralize chemicals in their fruity diet and ease their stomachs.
  6. Macaws typically mate for life. They not only breed with, but also share food with their mates and enjoy mutual grooming. In breeding season, mothers incubate eggs while fathers hunt and bring food back to the nest.
  7. There are 17 species of macaws, and several are endangered. These playful birds are popular pets, and many are illegally trapped for that trade. The rain forest homes of many species are also disappearing at an alarming rate.
  8. Hyacinth, red-fronted, and blue-throated macaws are seriously endangered. The glaucus macaw and Spix's macaw may already be extinct in the wild.
