About Our Parrot Jewelry

<animal-jewelry-bird-jewelry-parrot-jewelry>My parrot jewelry is great for a casual piece of jewelry to pin on your shirt or hat. I suppose this particular design could be an African grey or an Amazon, though I have separate collections of both of those parrots elsewhere under my bird category. Did you know that since ancient times parrots have been kept as caged birds? And do you realize that this means those ancient birds were speaking Latin and Greek? Wow. Parrots are in an order of birds known as Psittacidae. Do not ask me how to say that. Some scientists place their group somewhere between cuckoos and pigeons, which doesn’t make much sense to me but then again I’m no scientist. The earliest fossil ancestor so far located is from a single leg bone about 30 million years old. Parrots have a number of features in common. They all have the characteristic parrot bill and feet where the two outer toes point backwards and grip in opposition to the two forward pointing toes. This feature lets them use their feet almost like hands for manipulating objects. Parrots can also be right or left footed, just like us! (Only we’re left or right handed, of course.) Well there you have a few parrot thoughts. Now if you’d like to order some parrot jewelry, you can do that whether you’re right or left footed!</animal-jewelry-bird-jewelry-parrot-jewelry>
