Jardine Parrot
The Jardine Parrot (Poicephalus gulielmi) currently has three subspecies. Its body is almost entirely green and is the second-largest parrot species after the Cape Parrot. Its distribution is scattered and not concentrated, mainly across central Africa and parts of West Africa.
Yellow-naped Amazon
The Yellow-naped Amazon is a parrot with outstanding talking ability; with proper training it can be truly astonishing. However, although it talks well, it can also be very noisy, so before keeping one you must be sure it will not disturb you or those around you. Of course, it has quiet moments too - for example, wild Yellow-naped Amazons are very quiet while foraging.
Black-capped Lory
The Black-capped Lory is a very beautiful bird whose plumage is varied and vivid, which is why it is loved by many. Its most obvious and well-known feature is its black crown, as if wearing a black cap. Unlike some other parrots that eat plant seeds, the Black-capped Lory feeds mainly on nectar, pollen, and fruit.
Red-shouldered Macaw
Macaws are never small in size, and even as the smallest macaw, the Red-shouldered Macaw exceeds 30 cm in body length. Because it can talk, the Red-shouldered Macaw has found its way into many homes. With proper care it lives about 20 years, though records show the oldest individuals can reach 80 years of age.
Blue-fronted Amazon
The Blue-fronted Amazon is one of the more common Amazon parrots, with very bright plumage. Its drawback is a loud call, so it is best kept in a detached house where it will not disturb neighbors. Its diet is varied and easy to manage.
Green-winged Macaw
The Green-winged Macaw (Ara chloropterus), also called the Red-and-green Macaw, is a relatively large parrot with a lifespan of up to 80 years. Its colorful plumage resembles Beijing-opera face paint and can turn red when excited. It comes from the tropical Americas.
Keeping and Taming Lovebirds (Agapornis)
Lovebirds (Agapornis) are small, pretty, affordable African parrots that cannot mimic human speech clearly but copy other birds and animals well. Keep them in pairs or flocks in a sturdy cage, bathe them weekly in summer and dry in sun, and feed varied seed, millet, oyster shell, and fruit. For chicks, use wood-shaving bedding, keep warmth above 25°C, and build a call signal during feeding so they bond and recognize you.

Is a Monk Parakeet Easy to Care For?
Monk parakeets are small, rounded, and endearing, with a gentle, adaptable nature that suits novice bird keepers, and they are strong talkers that can learn words and even songs with patient training. However, they are pricey, and their short intestines mean very frequent droppings—earning the nickname 'mobile poop machine'—so slightly moist food creates loose, messy messes that are hard to clean.
African Grey Parrot
The African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is a large parrot and a typical perching bird, famous as one of the few animals that can truly hold a conversation with humans, with very high intelligence and a lifespan around 50 years.
