In the following modules of part 1, we'll take a closer look at different body parts and what we can observe parrots doing with them in certain situations. We'll also look at some common types of behavior that are useful to recognize, like bathing, preening, some behaviors related to breeding and parental care, as well as some species typical behaviors that we usually only see in certain parrot species. An important step when getting started is familiarizing yourself with what parrots look like; their body plan and anatomy, and how they move. Even though parrots are closely related to each other and share a lot of similarities, parrots come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and are adapted to living in different environments. All these factors affect how they move and use their bodies. This fact is important to keep in mind when you navigate this resource, and it is something we will discuss more in a later section. If you don't already feel comfortable with the parrot body plan, start off by familiarizing yourself with what the different body parts on a parrot is called below. I have intentionally avoided using terms that require extensive previous knowledge about bird anatomy and morphology, but I will sometimes be referring to body parts like the "nape" or "wrist", so knowing what and where those are located will make learning more effective and precise. If you already feel comfortable with this, you can skip directly to section 1.1.
