A PARROT is a type of bird that is known for its ability to mimic human speech. The term 'PARROT' is derived from the French word 'papagais, ' which means 'long-tailed parakeet.' Parrots are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, and they are popular pets due to their intelligence and colorful plumage. One of the most recognizable characteristics of parrots is their ability to squawk, which is a loud, harsh sound they make to communicate with other birds.
