I recently got a pet parrot
Do you know how to take care of your new furry psittacines, another word for parrot?  I am a parrot trainer and can help you with any questions on taking care of your new pet.
Awesome!  What kind of food is best for them?
They usually eat seeds, nuts, fruit, buds and other plant materials. Keep in mind that they are tropical animals so give them fruits you would find in the tropical locations.
What is the life expectancy?
Parrots can live really long - sometimes up to 90 years.  But it all depends on their species.  Parrots are subdivided into three super families.  
I didn't know that!  How many different types of parrots are there?
There are around 393 species of parrots and are mostly found in the tropical and subtropical regions.  
I didn't expect there to be that many!  How long have people kept them as pets?
That's a good question and unfortunately, one that even the history books can not determine.  There has been many text in the past about parrots being vividly coloured and multicoloured, but never talks about their origin.
