Origin and geographical distribution

  Amazon parrots and their origins. Amazon parrots in France. The study showed that the Australian bird is the only animal in the world that provides tools for performing rhythms with which women embrace.

In order to quickly teach them how to talk, it is better to start by repeating the same phrase when communicating, which should be used appropriately for the place, according to its intended purpose and under appropriate circumstances.

And such exercises need to be done every day until the pet reaches satisfactory results, not forgetting to encourage the bird with delicacy for success. Categorically you should not swear and use swear words when parrot.

Kakatua males palms can be rock stars of the animal world, but in fact they "play" only for their "beautiful". This Australian bird, according to the new search, is the only animal, in addition to humans, to use a special instrument for the rhythm of percussion. Other animals, such as chimpanzees, who love to play with chests and sticks, do not build instruments for their "music".

It is curious that Heinson spent two decades shooting these timid animals to find out if their percussion is really music, by definition a regular repetition of rhythm with repetitive components and, of course, personal style. Analyzing the sequence of rhythms of birds, Heinson and his colleagues concluded that sounds can be largely provided, as well as the music of people. Every man who watched himself on a rock or arm possessed a unique and excellent musical style.

The diet of this kind of creature does not necessarily have to contain something special, and usually they eat everything that birds prefer.

This can be as ready-quality pet food from the pet store, and ordinary bird food: muesli, wheat, barley, millet, and of course, oats and sunflower seeds.

You can give boiled corn, as well as small pieces of fruit and vegetables. Often, for nourishing and healthy feeding of such birds, bread is mixed with hard-boiled eggs, rolling small balls from them.

Males often combined their percussion with sounds, signals and visual effects. “Their cheeks turn red when they are sexually aroused,” says Heinson, who did not consider female reactions to male music. This study poses new questions about women's perception of different rhythms, emphasizes Anirudd Patel, a professor of musical knowledge at Tufts University, who participated in the study.

“Knowing how to play a normal rhythm does not automatically lead to possessing only the vague perceptual abilities of the rhythm,” explains Patel, adding that it remains to be seen how the right rhythms are most valued by women. Being able to keep time through percussion is deeply rooted in human biology. As it evolved, this is a topic that scientists have been fascinating for a long time, and even Charles Darwin wrote about people's innate tendency to rhythm.

Fried food can be harmful to parrots, as well as too sweet or salty, and giving fermented milk products is generally not recommended.
