Parrots live
in the forests of South America,
where summer lasts all the year round, where leaves are always green. The
parrots make their homes in the forest, because there they can find shade in
the heat of the day.
Parrots eat
fruit and nuts. They like wild cherries best of all. They like them because of
the stones. The beak of the parrot is very sharp and it cracks these stones
easily.
Parrots like
to bathe very much. They fly about till they find water. They dip into the
water and splash it over their feathers. Then they sit in the sun till they are
dry. In the middle of the day the heat becomes very great. Then parrots fly in
the deepest shade. They sit in the trees and sleep. But in the evening, when
the sun is going down, they wake up. They eat fruit, go to the water and bathe
again. Only after that they go to the rest for the night.
People can
tame parrots. The parrot is a very interesting pet, because it can talk.
