Review: Parrots can be found in most warm regions of the world, including India, southeast Asia and west Africa. The Carolina Parakeet, now extinct, lived in the United States. By far the greatest number of parrot species come from Australasia, South America, and Central America.
Parrots are kept as pets, particularly conures, macaws, Amazons, cockatoos, African Greys, lovebirds, Cockatiels, Budgerigars ,eclectus,and parakeets, because of their rich and varied colouration.
