Fun Facts About Parrots

Would you like a side of dirt or clay with your dinner? Probably not! Yup, some parrots, though not every parrot, may eat dirt or clay in order to gain minerals, specifically sodium in many cases.
Did you know that some parrot feathers contain a pigment that is bacteria-resistant and prevents their feathers from damage caused by certain bacteria? How cool is that?
Parrots are attentive parents. They take special care of their children, guarding them, teaching them important skills, and nurturing their physical and cognitive development. The care of the parents and the care of other adult flock-mates help ensure a well-adjusted, independent adult.
