Realised that I don't have favourite parrots, they are all so cute ☺️

Did you know that since parrots (order Psittaciformes) originated exclusively from Oceania, they are split into eight extant families under three superfamilies with the three superfamilies of parrots being Strigopoidea (New Zealand Parrots) for the families Nestoridae (Kakas and Kea) and Strigopidae (Kakapo and Kakarikis), Cacatuoidea (Cockatoos) for the families Nymphicidae (Cockatiel) and Cacatuidae (True Cockatoos), and Psittacoidea (True Parrots) for the families Pezoporidae (Typical Oceanian Parrots), Psittaculidae (Asiatic Parrots), Psittacidae (African Parrots), and Aridae (New World Parrots)?

I love parrots.. it’s such a shame human activity caused these beauties to go extinct. I have my own feather baby I love dearly and I can imagine these parrots were just as sweet…
