Family: Psittacidae

[edit] Description

This big family contains all Parrots except the Cockatoos. Most of them are very colourful and are often kept in captivity. Therefore some species are threatened by pet trade or even at the brink of extinction. In South America and Australia the number of species is the highest, but they are also found in Central America, tropical Africa and South-east Asia.
