Rainbow lorikeet is very annoyed by the Little Corellas who have been getting stuck into "his" seed for the last 10 minutes.If Curly was here he'd probably be silly enough to attack them, but this bird is far too sensible:-) .Thanks to Dave for the new title .
Only parrot where male and female have completely different plumage..... very inquisitive lad, reminds me a bit of a muppet (-;
I don't know if this Hyacinth Macaw is truly learned, but parrots are very smart, and this one looked like it was ready to address the class. Taken last week on an overcast day, with beautiful soft light, at the San Diego Zoo.
Other pictures I have taken at our world famous zoo can be seen in my creatively named San Diego Zoo album.

This is our silly and happy African Grey parrot, posing for me with that inquisitive eye :))
He is 19 years old and loves to whistle the theme song of the Andy Griffith Show. He's continually rattling off many words and phrases, from "Good morning. Did you sleep well?", to "Nite-nite, sleep tight, kiss-kiss"! He's a real hoot...

The parrots are a broad order of more than 350 birds. Macaws, Amazons, lorikeets, lovebirds, cockatoos and many others are all considered parrots.
Though there is great diversity among these birds, there are similarities as well. All parrots have curved beaks and all are zygodactyls, meaning they have four toes on each foot, two pointing forward and two projecting backward. Most parrots eat fruit, flowers, buds, nuts, seeds, and some small creatures such as insects.
Parrots are found in warm climates all over most of the world. The greatest diversities exist in Australasia, Central America, and South America.
Many parrots are kept as pets, especially macaws, Amazon parrots, cockatiels, parakeets, and cockatoos. These birds have been popular companions throughout history because they are intelligent, charismatic, colorful, and musical. Some birds can imitate many nonavian sounds, including human speech. The male African gray parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is the most accomplished user of human speech in the animal world; this rain forest-dweller is an uncanny mimic.
Currently the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) bans the sale of any wild-caught species, yet the parrots' popularity continues to drive illegal trade.

The rump is blue and the tail is long and narrow. The males have longer tail feathers and brighter coloring than females.

বাসন্তী লটকন টিয়া or The vernal hanging parrot (Loriculus vernalis) is a small parrot which is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent and some other areas of Southeast Asia. It undergoes local movements, driven mainly by the availability of the fruit, seeds, buds and blossoms that make up its diet. They frequent the banyan tree for the fruit and plantain trees for the nectar from the flowers.
This is a small, mainly green hanging parrot, only 14 cm long with a short tail. The adult male has a red rump and bill, and blue throat patch. The female has a green patch. Vernal hanging parrot is a bird of dry jungle and cultivation. It nests in holes in trees, laying 2-4 white eggs. Immature birds have a duller rump, and lack the throat patch. Vernal hanging parrot is less gregarious than some of its relatives, and is usually in small groups outside the breeding season. Its flight is swift and direct, and the call is a raucous chattering.
