South American Parrots 

Most wild parrots live in the warm areas of the Southern Hemisphere, though they can be found in many other regions of the world, such as northern Mexico. Australia, South America and Central America have the greatest diversity of parrot species. With their colorful plumage and ability to mimic human speech, parrots are very popular pets. Some parrot pets have escaped their owners and bred in unusual areas. 

North, Central and South America combined (The Americas) have the greatest number of parrot species on earth!. There are over 100 species native to this part of the world. Many of these parrots are primarily green but many also have vivid splashes of red, blue, orange, yellow or purple.
