Usage examples

Good to know

The order includes many genera and species chiefly inhabiting tropical and semi-tropical regions; a few are found in the temperate zones in N. America, Australia, and New Zealand. As differentiated from parakeet, ‘parrot’ is applied to the moderate-sized and larger species of the order. Various families, genera, and species have distinct names, as cockatoo, kea, lory, macaw, etc.
