Parrots, like other birds which can fly, have wings which are of such a shape that air flows faster over the top of the wing than underneath it, and causing greater pressure below the wings than above. This pressure difference enables "lift".
The upper surface of a parrot's wing is raised while the lower surface is hollow. Essentially, this means that air travelling over the top of the wing does so at a faster rate than the bottom. This also gives the effect of "lift".
Then there is the makeup of parrots' wings, which have both primary and secondary feathers. The primary feathers are the ones on the outside, which move back and forth to create thrust. The secondary feathers are the inner feathers, which split the air between outer and inner parts and provide the lift.

∙ 10y agoFlying is a parrot's primary method of locomotion, and the way they evade predators. Many parrots are characterised by having a very erratic method of flying, which larger, predatory birds find difficult to follow.
