A showy parrot is a type of bird that is known for its bright colors and loud vocalizations. The two most common types of showy parrots are macaws, which have five letters, and cockatoos, which have eight letters. Macaws are large parrots with long tails and curved beaks, while cockatoos are smaller parrots with crest feathers on their heads. Both types of parrots are popular as pets due to their intelligence and ability to mimic human speech.
