Linyi, commonly known as An Zi bird, is a parrot. Parrots are distributed all over the world, mainly in tropical forests. In the southern hemisphere, some species spread to temperate regions, while others spread to distant islands. There are the most species of parrots in Latin America and Oceania, but there are far fewer species in Africa and Asia, but there are some famous species in Africa, such as gray parrots, couple parrots and peony parrots.

Parrot is a bird with many colorful feathers and likes to call. A typical bird climber, toe to toe, two toes forward and two toes backward, is suitable for grasping, has a strong beak and can eat hard-shelled fruits. Feathers are brightly colored and often kept as pets.

Living habits

Most parrots feed on fruits, seeds, nuts, berries, buds and shoots of plants on trees or on the ground, and also eat a small amount of insects. Honey-sucking parrots feed on pollen, nectar and soft and juicy fruits.

In the process of foraging, parrots often cooperate with powerful hooked beaks and flexible toe feet. Toe-pointed feet, with two toes forward and two toes backward, are suitable for grasping. When climbing in the canopy to find food, first bite the branches with your mouth, and then use them on your heels.

When walking on a solid tree trunk, insert the tip of your mouth into the tree to balance your body and speed up your movement. When eating, one foot is often used as a hand to take food and stuff it into the mouth.
