Parrots are members of the order Psittaciformes, which includes more than 350 bird species, including parakeets, macaws, cockatiels and cockatoos, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). Though there are many types of parrots, all parrot species have a few traits in common. For example, to be classified as a parrot, the bird must have a curved beak, and its feet must be zygodactyl, which means there are four toes on each foot with two toes that point forward and two that point backward. Size Because the parrot order includes so many different species, parrot sizes vary widely. Parrots can range in size from about 3.5 to 40 inches (8.7 to 100 centimeters) and weigh 2.25 to 56 ounces (64 g to 1.6 kg), on average. The world's heaviest type of parrot is the kakapo, which can weigh up to 9 lbs. (4 kg). The smallest parrot is the buff-faced pygmy parrot, which is only about 3 inches (8 cm) tall and weighs just 0.4 ounces (10 g). Habitat Most wild parrots live in the warm areas of the Southern Hemisphere, though they can be found in many other regions of the world, such as northern Mexico. Australia, South America and Central America have the greatest diversity of parrot species. Not all parrots like warm weather, though. Some parrots like to live in snowy climates. A few cold-weather parrots are maroon-fronted parrots, thick-billed parrots and keas.

quirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents. The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots (including groundhogs), flying squirrels, and prairie dogs amongst other rodents. Squirrels are indigenous to the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa, and were introduced by humans to Australia.[1] The earliest known fossilized squirrels date from the Eocene epoch, and among other living rodent families, the squirrels are most closely related to the mountain beaver and to the dormice. #squirrel #squirrels #squirrelsofinstagram #squirrellove #squirrellife #squirrelsofig #squirrelhill #squirrelgirl #squirrelhunting #squirrelmonkey #squirrelwhisperer #squirrellover #squirrelsquad #squirrell #squirrelfriend #squirrelfriends #squirrelphotography #squirrelwatching #squirreldog #squirrelhunter #squirrelstagram #squirrelsuit #squirrelfeeder #squirrelmaster #squirrelnutbutter #squirreloftheday #squirrelsnutbutter #squirreltattoo #squirrelwatch #squirrely #squirrel #squirrels #squirrelsofinstagram #squirrellove #squirrellife #squirrelsofig #squirrelhill #squirrelgirl #squirrelhunting #squirrelmonkey #squirrelwhisperer #squirrellover #squirrelsquad #squirrell #squirrelfriend #squirrelfriends #squirrelphotography #squirrelwatching #squirreldog #squirrelhunter #squirrelstagram #squirrelsuit #squirrelfeeder #squirrelmaster #squirrelnutbutter #squirreloftheday #squirrelsnutbutter #squirreltattoo #squirrelwatch #squirrely squirrel,squirrels,dead squirrel,baby squirrel,squirrel rescue,squirrel hunting,squirrel pet,funny squirrel,pet squirrel,squirrel girl,squirrel call,squirrel story,squirrel noises,squirrel videos,squirrel growth,squirrel in house,the dodo squirrel,how to feed squirrel,squirrel boy,aka squirrel,squirrel lady,squirrel love,squirrel food,squirrel diet,squirrel corn,squirrel rehab,mossy squirrel,squirrel as pet,river squirrel,squirrel facts,fried squirrel,squirrels just,baby squirrels

Swans are the largest extant members of the waterfowl family Anatidae, and are among the largest flying birds. The largest species, including the mute swan, trumpeter swan, and whooper swan, can reach a length of over 1.5 m (59 in) and weigh over 15 kg (33 lb). Their wingspans can be over 3.1 m (10 ft).[10] Compared to the closely related geese, they are much larger and have proportionally larger feet and necks.[11]Adults also have a patch of unfeathered skin between the eyes and bill. The sexes are alike in plumage, but males are generally bigger and heavier than females.[9] The Northern Hemisphere species of swan have pure white plumage, but the Southern Hemisphere species are mixed black and white. The Australian black swan (Cygnus atratus) is completely black except for the white flight feathers on its wings; the chicks of black swans are light grey. The South American black-necked swan has a white body with a black neck.[12] Swans' legs are normally a dark blackish grey colour, except for the South American black-necked swan, which has pink legs. Bill colour varies: the four subarctic species have black bills with varying amounts of yellow, and all the others are patterned red and black. Although birds do not have teeth, swans, like other Anatidae, have beaks with serrated edges that look like small jagged 'teeth' as part of their beaks used for catching and eating aquatic plants and algae, but also molluscs, small fish, frogs, and worms.[13] In the mute swan and black-necked swan, both sexes have a fleshy lump at the base of their bills on the upper mandible, known as knob, which is larger in males, and is condition dependent, changing seasonally #bird #birds #BirdsOfInstagram #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdstagram #birding #birdlovers #birdseyeview #birdlover #birddog #birdlife #birdman #birdie #birdsofprey #birdy #birdfreaks #birdgang #birdofprey #birddogoftheday #birdart #birdtattoo #birdhouse #birdcage #birdwatcher #birdextreme #BirdsOfAFeather #birdwatchers #birdsofig #birdies #birds #BirdsOfInstagram #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdstagram #birding #birdlovers #birdseyeview #birdlover #birddog #birdlife #birdman #birdie #birdsofprey #birdy #birdfreaks #birdgang #birdofprey #birddogoftheday #birdart #birdtattoo #birdhouse #birdcage #birdwatcher #birdextreme #BirdsOfAFeather #birdwatchers #birdsofig #birdies #birdphoto #swan #swans #swansea #SwanLake #swang #swanky #swanqueen #SwanValley #swank #swanriver #swanthevoice #swanthevoicefamily #swanage #swanepoel #swanetors #Swanson #SwansOfInstagram #swansong #swanseacity #swanlove #swanlife #swanneck #SwanCity #swangin #swanhill #swanstonstreet #swann #swanseauni #swanginandbangin #swanley #swan #swans #swansea #SwanLake #swang #swanky #swanqueen #SwanValley #swank #swanriver #swanthevoice #swanthevoicefamily #swanage #swanepoel #swanetors #Swanson #SwansOfInstagram #swansong #swanseacity #swanlove #swanlife #swanneck #SwanCity #swangin #swanhill #swanstonstreet #swann #swanseauni #swanginandbangin #swanley
