World of Loro 2025: And She You can live between 35 and 30 years, especially the largest species. They are characterized by their ability to imitation and reproduction of sounds, as well as their characteristics with four fingers, two forwards and two backwards.
They are affectionate and are usually funny, very playful and good companions. It is recommended to stimulate them much because they are very intelligent. Although parrots are omnivore, those who live in captivity usually feed with fruit and seeds. He She It is also characterized by being monogamous and maintaining the same pair throughout their lives.
The memory of the parrots. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligencehave discovered that parrot They are able to remember the actions they have carried out, which means the first proof of the existence of mental representation of itself and episodic memory in birds.
Today May 31 is the World of Loro Day 2025An ephemeris made to report the capacities and importance of this Psitácids in the ecosystems of the world and the serious threats that weigh on many of these types.
Higher Intelligence
According to experts consulted in the World of Loro Day 2025The cognitive skills of a parrot are estimated equivalent to those of a human child from 4 to 5 years and in the intelligence ranking in the animal kingdom, the parrot occupies the third position behind the chimpanzee and the dolphin. This is because, although the brain is smaller in birds than in mammals, the area dedicated to intelligence has proportionally the same interest.
Great skills
If we are interested in the reproduction of sounds and their gift from the imitation of the human voice, it should be noted that the species that is most adapted to this practice, such as the Gray Gabon and the Blue Ara, are birds that have no vocal strings, but have an equivalent organ at the basis of their Luchtpipe, which Siringe). Thanks to this, they have the opportunity to articulate and model sounds with their flexible tongue.
The big question that arises in this respect is whether they understand what they say. And again, we have to resort to experts in the field of animal behavior, who actually explain that She It does not try to understand what it says, but to cause social interaction and to maintain considerable contact with the people around it.
In the wild, the parrot It is pre -eminently social animals that spend their time to communicate with their colleagues, and even develop dialects with regional nuances. That is why the unique intelligence of parrots is probably the result of the combination of this ability to communicate ancestively in very united cooperation groups, their construction to learn and their ability to use their legs and peak in a coordinated way to produce tools.
In serious danger
The creation of World Parrot Day It is due to the fact that in all parts of the world where there are of course, which are tropical and subtropical areas, the number of individuals of the different species in Franco is that originated.
Who study their status, as is the case of scientists who generate IUCN RED LIST They estimate that more than a quarter of the types of parrots are threatened over the entire planet.
The parrots are the victims of the deforestation From his favorite habitat (the tropical forest), of a formidable disease of the zoonosis that is transferable to the person called psitacosis and its success as pets. The latter encourages poaching and illegal human trafficking, even though they are protected species.
Some types of parrots are already on the edge of extinction, such as the Guacamayo from Spix or the Kakapo. Others have already completely disappeared when the Periquito de Carolina (Conuropsis Carolinensis) Better known as Cotorra Yellow, a graceful parrot that lived in the United States before it was completely eradicated to the full extinction in 1914 because, according to farmers, it was ‘harmful’ to his crops.
The incoming parrots
While many species of parrot They are in danger, on the contrary, they have made a lot of it until the point of turning Invasive species. Thanks to their intelligence, their ability to adjust and their Gregarious live in organized groups, they reproduce at high speed and colonize new habitats.
Weld Cities of Europe They are a loyal example of this problem, because they have been ‘conquered’ by the Argentinian Cotorras and the yellow neck Periquitos (Psittacula Krameri), two foreign species, the first in South America and the second of Southeast Asia and Africa, that They came to the country legally and negligence or abandonment eventually became a plague (as in their places of origin). Nowadays they are fighting and their possession and reproduction are prohibited.
