There are many kinds of parrots.Some are quite big,but others are very small.People like
them because they often have beautiful,bright colors and also because some of them can talk.
No one knows why some parrots can talk.Most other birds cannot.Some people have the idea that parrots can talk because they have big,thick tongues(舌头).However,there are birds that can talk without having big,thick tongues,as well as birds that cannot talk even with big,thick tongues.
Parrots do not usually know what they are saying when they talk.They are only copying the sounds they hear.However,they know when to say some words,such as “hello” and “goodbye”.
Most parrots come from hot countries,but they are adaptable(有适应能力的) and can live anywhere.This is one reason why sailors(水手) like to take parrots with them on long trips.Perhaps another reason is that they want someone—or something—with whom they can talk.
