The Congo African Grey Parrots

The Australian King Parrot is said to be the only parrot living in Australia that has a totally red head. The female Australian King Parrot looks much like the male except her head and breast are a beautiful green. The male and females belly is red, and their back is green. They have gorgeous green wings and tail. The Australian King parrot like to live in pairs or small groups. The Australian King parrot is 41 to 43cm long the they will weigh 212g.

The parrot was one of the symbols that were used. It represented the Republic of Congo, which like the parrot, did not have much freedom. The parrot also adumbrated the doom of Congo because when the parrot dies, so does the Republic of Congo on the same day.

Eastern Screech Owls are short birds with a sturdy build. They have rounded wings with an average wingspan of 48 – 61 cm. Their typical length are from 16 – 25 cm, the females are slightly larger. The average mass of this species is 164 grams, but females can weigh up to 195 grams. The owl has almost no neck and a small, square shaped tail. One of the most distinctive features of an Eastern Screech Owl are their ear tufts as seen in Figure 1 which are prominent went raised up, but when down it reveals a sort of small round-headed look. As a juvenile the young owls don’t have fully developed ear tufts. Eastern Screech Owls are either gray or reddish (as seen in Figure 1) with dark streaks

The Puerto Rican parrot or "iguaca" (as our Taino Indians called it) is a bright green bird with a red band on the forehead, a white ring around the eye and the blue primary feathers. Juveniles are quite similar to adults. Both females and males are similar and measure about twelve inches.

Parrots are smart, and the grey is one of the smartest, with an intelligence level similar to a 5 year old child.

Due to the continuous population declining in orange-bellied parrots, the conservation plans such as captive breeding was initiated in 1985, several wild birds were caught and kept captive breeding since then. But such effort does not prevent the extinction trend for orange-bellied parrots, until 2006, the wild individuals of orange-bellied parrots sank to a critical stage, the Federal Government immediately granted 3.2 million dollars for conservation of orange-bellied parrots. Since 2006, the conservation plan has been an ongoing process, it is unlikely to fully reintroduce orange-bellied parrots in the wild in the soon future.

Birds have fascinated people for years. Whether it's their striking color, lovely songs, care for their young, or ( most often ) their ability to fly. Not all birds however fall into each one of these catergories. One species, for example, are the owls. Owls are not the brightest color and don't have as lovely songs as a canary. They are different from many birds including other birds of prey. To look at all these wonderful owls would take more than a few pages so we will look at one, the Barn Owl.

Brilliantly colored scarlet macaws, iconic toucans and powerful harpy eagles are famous Amazon Rainforest birds.

Nesting is vital to the repopulation to these birds, therefore building manmade nesting sights is a great possibility. The birds like higher tree to keep away from predators but if there were manmade prevention systems it would make many more places an opportunity to nest. Spreading the populations boundaries would increase the likelihood of increase.

If I could be an animal for a day, I would be a parrot. Parrots can talk, are very colorful, and can fly up to 60 MPH. Warm climates are were parrots are mainly found. The biggest diversities exist in Australia, Central America, and South America. There are many different birds that are considered parrots, such as Macaws, Amazons, Lorikeets, Lovebirds, and Cockatoos. They all have curved beaks. Most parrots eat, seeds, fruit, flowers, nuts, buds, and some small creatures such as insects.

One of its most important characteristics is its beak. The finch adapted to have a thin, long beak to probe through moss, bark and leaves in search of food (Wildscreen Arkive, N.D.). These finches have the thinnest beak out of the 13 finches; which aids them to find small insects. The Green Warbler finch are mostly found in humid highland forest where their primary food source is found. These adaptations made them more fit to survive on available food. Over the years the finch’s beak has evolved as the bird developed different taste for insects. Another famous adaptation is how they camouflage in their environment. The Green Warbler is restricted to the forest and is greener in body colouration, while the Gray Warbler is found in shrubby, dry thickets and is greyer and duller looking (Certhidea olivacea, 2010). Their coloration helps them camouflage in their own environments, and to hide from predators. Recent studies have found that there are in fact two separate species of the Warbler Finch, the Green Warbler Finch and the Grey Warbler Finch, but are considered as a single species (Wildscreen Arkive, N.D.). The Green Warbler finch mainly occupies larger, inner islands, while the Grey Warbler finch inhabits the smaller, outer islands (Green Warbler Finch,

Severely restricted inside the barren cages, the birds are unable to engage in nearly any of their natural habits, including nesting, perching, walking, dust bathing, foraging, or even spreading their wings” (HSUS, 2009).

In their cage they need seperate bowls for each dish preferably ones that hang on the side. You can also use cool traps to hide their food in so they get the instincts they are hunting. In their cage they also need Hammocks, pouches, and toys. Their toys need to be plastic because suggies will pee on wood and the wood will be soaked and will rot. Ropes are also dangerous to gliders because their nails could get caught and to get free they will chew their hands off. Overall plastic is the best and safest option. Sugar gliders should only have items made out of fleece other fabrics are easy to chew and ingest. For exercise they need a safe wheel and make sure it's quiet because they are nocturnal. For bedding below they bottom wiring should lay newspaper for an easier more sanitary cleanup. Cleaning supplies also necessary for the cage are baby wipes, scrub brush, and cage klean by exotic nutrition. They should also have a tent where they can fly around without getting out of
