		Subsequent research strongly suggested that the parrot had never belonged to Winston Churchill, [2] [3] although Charlie's great age was not in question.

	On the Parrots of the Malayan Region, by Alfred Russel Wallace
		The Psittaci or Parrots are an extensive and very isolated group of birds ranging over the tropics of the whole world, but, with the exception of those lands of anomalies, Australia and New Zealand, rarely found in the temperate and cooler regions.
		Undoubtedly the most highly organized form of Parrot is the Trichoglossine or Brushtongue family, in which the whole structure is modified to enable these birds to derive a considerable portion of their subsistence from the nectar of flowers.
		The prehensile feet of Parrots are used in a manner altogether peculiar; for though other birds may secure their food with their foot while eating, no others in the whole class use it systematically as a hand to grasp and convey food to the mouth.

		The purpose of this list of Bird Families of the World is as an aid to world birders who desire to maximize their study of avian diversity by observing examples of as many bird families as reasonable within the time and money available for travel, and as a study tool for all interested readers.
		Stability had been a goal when I began this project in 1999 [see my old essay on "choosing a family listing"] but since this is my 7th edition in 7 years, it is obvious that we are in a time of rapid change in taxonomic ideas and evidence.
		In prior lists I had followed HBW in retaining each group as a 'traditional' family, each of which is easily recognized and each of which is a monophyletic group, but now the weight of the evidence is strong enough to compel the merger of turkeys and grouse into the Phasianidae.

	Parrot family
		The Parrots are a very large family of easily recognized birds, generally restricted to the tropics, ranging from huge macaws to tiny lovebirds and parrotlets.
		Parrots apparently arose in the Old World, and the lories and lorikeets are the most distantly related of the parrots.
		While the Old World has two subfamilies and 8 tribes of parrots, the New World has but a single tribe in a single subfamily [the Arini] yet among these 148 species is an astonishing variety in size, shape, and behavior.

		Parrots are mostly green (though there are some dramatic exceptions) and can be remarkably invisible when perched in the leafy forest canopy, quietly and methodically devouring fruits.
		Parrots climb methodically around the tree branches, often hanging in awkward acrobatic positions as they attack their desired fruits.
		While it may prove possible to develop protocols to manage parrot populations such that there can be sustainable use for international trade (Thomsen and Brautigam 1991), doing so in countries where enforcement is at best problematic (and that would be most Latin American countries) suggests a dubious potential for success.
