Parrots stand on one leg because one is tucked up high into the body of the bird - if they didn't stand on the other leg they would fall off the perch!!

Are pet parrots more expensive then black market parrots?

No; in fact, the opposite is true: pet parrots are from species that can be commercially exploited and sold to the general public. Black market parrots are from endangered species that should not be captured, much less sold. This in turn means higher prices as the people who capture and sell them are performing an illegal activity by definition.


Why do parrots in the rainforest have different behavior then pet parrots?

Parrots, unlike cats or dogs, are still very undomesticated even in captivity. Due to breeding and rising popularity as pets, parrots are slowly becoming more and more docile. One of the most common reasons is hand-feeding. Pet parrots are often fed from a bottle instead of being fed by their parents as they would be in the wild. This causes them to be used to humans and they are friendlier.
