This document describes the behavior patterns of common parrots. It lists the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. It then provides a table showing the behaviors observed, including searching, drinking water, flying, flying around the eating place, climbing, walking, eating, sleeping and feeding. The most commonly observed behavior was flying, with searching being the second most common. Adult parrots spend more time feeding and caring for offspring multiple times per day until the offspring can live independently after a few weeks.

23. ACCORDING TO THIS SAMPLING ,
THE MOST COMMON BEHAVIOUR PATTERN IS
FLYING . THEY ARE VERY AFRAID OF HUMAN AND OTHER PREDATORS , SO THAT IS
THE REASON OF THE INCREASED OF SEARCHIG BEHAVIOUR. THEIR SLEEPING
BEHAVIOUR SHOWS THEY ARE STANDING SLEEPERS BUT OFFSPRINGS SLEEPING IN
THEIR NESTS. THEY INVEST MORE TIME AND CARE INTO OFFSPRING. ADULT PARROT
FEEDS THEIR OFFSPRING IN MANY TIMES PER DAY. THEY GUIDE THEM AND PROTECT
THEM FROM DANGER. THEIR EYES ARE OPEN AND FEATHERS ARE WELL DEVELOPED
,ALLOWING THEM TO FLYING WITH MOTHER. AFTER FEW WEEKS MOTHER PARROT
ALLOW THEM TO LIVE INDIPENDANTLY.
