Parrots are among the most intelligent birds in the world and can learn to copy human speech by listening carefully and practicing sounds. There are more than 350 species of parrots, and they live on every continent except Antarctica. In the wild, most parrots live in tropical forests and eat seeds, fruit, and nuts.
Coloring ideas: parrots come in almost every color imaginable. Try a bright green body with a red head and yellow wing tips for a classic look, or go wild with a blue body, orange beak, and purple feathers. The wooden perch looks great in tan or brown with darker wood-grain lines.
For toddlers, start with the big body shape using a single color, then add a different color to the wings. Older kids can layer two shades on each feather row for a richer look.
