We love all animals, but birds make some of the most beautiful, exotic, and downright hilarious pets.
There are over 398 species of parrot, including cockatiels and parakeets. They’re known for being some of the most intelligent birds, and each one has their own distinctive personality. The fact that some species of parrot can even imitate human speech makes them even more popular members of a family.
1. This bird is just as playful as your average cat or dog – and just as cute.
