There
are lots of colourful parrots
in the rainforest.
Although some
parrots do live
in temperate climates and even inhabit
dry areas, most of the world's 370 species of parrots live in tropical
climate and in rainforests.
They are also some of the most intelligent
and social
birds, and they can imitate peoples' voices - something that
makes them popular pets
and common targets for pet
trade.
Other threats they face are habitat loss, hunting, and competition from
introduced species.
