Synopsis: What can compare with the sight of a large, beautiful bird flying through the air or landing--brightly colored wings stretched out--on a branch? Birds, with their colors and flight, have fascinated people for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians had gods who were birds. The ancientGreeks told tales of daredevils who tried to add wings and feathers to their bodies. And for hundreds of years inventors of all nations worked to create machines that would allow humans to fly like the birds. Of all the birds of the world few are as colorful and as fascinating as parrots. Beautiful, affectionate, and full of individual personality, they even are clever enough to talk. It's no wonder that for hundreds of years they have been among the world's most treasured pets and companions.
