Parrots, also known as psittacines,are birds of the order Psittaciformes and are found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions.
Publications
- Parrots are found on all tropical and subtropical continents and regions including Australia and Oceania, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central America, South America, and Africa.
- However, it has been shown that some parrot species exhibit sexually dimorphic plumage in the ultraviolet spectrum, normally invisible to humans.
- Strong sexual dimorphism in plumage is not typical among parrots, with some notable exceptions, the most striking being the eclectus parrot.
- Cockatoos, however, are predominately black or white with some red, pink, or yellow.
- The predominant colour of plumage in parrots is green, though most species have some red or another colour in small quantities.

- No other parrots can do so, but the Pacific lorikeets in the genera Vini and Phigys can ruffle the feathers of the crown and nape, and the red-fan parrot (or hawk-headed parrot) has a prominent feather neck frill that it can raise and lower at will.

Your journey with us has been invaluable. By supporting "Hey", you're not just a part of our story, but you're also fueling the vibrant future of **open-source** development. Here's to more innovation and collaboration ahead!
- Cockatoo species have a mobile crest of feathers on the top of their heads, which they can raise for display, and retract.
- A study conducted with Australian parrots has demonstrated that they exhibit "handedness", a distinct preference with regards to the foot used to pick up food, with adult parrots being almost exclusively "left-footed" or "right-footed", and with the prevalence of each preference within the population varying by species.
- Most species are capable of using their feet to manipulate food and other objects with a high degree of dexterity, in a similar manner to a human using their hands.
- which are used for climbing and swinging.
- Parrots have strong zygodactyl feet (two toes facing forward and two back) with sharp, elongated claws,
- Unlike humans, the vision of parrots is also sensitive to ultraviolet light.
- although this is nowhere near as large as primate binocular visual fields.
- Parrots also have quite a wide frontal binocular field for a bird,
- Without turning its head, a parrot can see from just below its bill tip, all above its head, and quite far behind its head.
- The finis are taking their talents to South Beach.
Visit the Lens exhibit at Gateway Miami and mint your own Clem @lens/fini
- so the visual field of parrots is unlike any other birds.

- The head is large, with eyes positioned high and laterally in the skull,
- Today, we proudly introduce ourselves as Avara.
Avara is the home to some of the most innovative web3 brands: Aave, Lens Protocol, GHO, Sonar, and now Family, all building towards a people powered internet that benefits all.
We're thrilled to announce the acquisition of Family. With Family, led by Benji Taylor, we're reinforcing our commitment to making web3 accessible through world class product design.

- which helps to manipulate seeds or position nuts in the bill so that the mandibles can apply an appropriate cracking force.
- Seed-eating parrots have a strong tongue (containing similar touch receptors to those in the bill tip organ),
- We rewrote the code and added some features.
Now go build.

- which are collectively known as the "bill tip organ", allowing for highly dexterous manipulations.
- Lenny is heading to Devconnect and @lens/ethglobal İstanbul
- Touch receptors occur along the inner edges of the keratinised bill,
- which moves against the flat part of the upper mandible in an anvil-like fashion.
- The lower mandible is shorter, with a sharp, upward-facing cutting edge,
- A large macaw, for example, has a bite force of 35 kg/cm2 (500 lb/sq in), close to that of a large dog.
- which allows it to move independently, and contributes to the tremendous biting pressure the birds are able to exert.
- It is not fused to the skull,
- The upper mandible is prominent, curves downward, and comes to a point.

- The most obvious physical characteristic is the strong, curved, broad bill.
- The Psittacoidea parrots are far more variable, ranging the full spectrum of sizes shown by the family.
- and the cockatoos tend to be large birds, as well.
- Among the superfamilies, the three extant Strigopoidea species are all large parrots,
- and the kakapo, at 4.0 kg (8.8 lb) in weight.
- at under 10 g (0.4 oz) in weight and 8 cm (3.1 in) in length,: 149 to the hyacinth macaw, at 1 m (3.3 ft) in length,
- Living species range in size from the buff-faced pygmy parrot,
- Subfamily Psittaculinae
Tribe Polytelini: three genera
Tribe Psittaculini: Asian psittacines
Tribe Micropsittini: pygmy parrots
- Subfamily Agapornithinae: three genera
- Subfamily Loriinae
Tribe Loriini: lories and lorikeets
Tribe Melopsittacini: one genus with one species, the budgerigar
Tribe Cyclopsittini: fig parrots
- Subfamily Psittacellinae: one genus (Psittacella) with several species
- Hey anon, hey!
Hey @lensprotocol family! We are excited to announce our brand new home, https://hey.xyz!
**Why the change?**
Because we wanted to re-introduce ourselves as the one-stop shop for all things Lens. we will be continuing to showcase the latest features from the protocol while listening to our community for what they want to see next.
We will be exploring communities, open actions, and whole new ways you, your NFTs, and the DAOs you’re a part of can benefit from web3 social powered by Lens. This is just the beginning, so thanks for stopping by, and saying hey!
