Parrots are found in warm climates all over most of the world. The greatest diversities exist in Australasia, Central America, and South America.
Many parrots are kept as pets, especially macaws, Amazon parrots, cockatiels, parakeets, and cockatoos. These birds have been popular companions throughout history because they are intelligent, charismatic, colorful, and musical. Some birds can imitate many nonavian sounds, including human speech. The male African gray parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is the most accomplished user of human speech in the animal world; this rain forest-dweller is an uncanny mimic.

<span>My preference lies with the genre of painting landscape, because it reflects something that everyone can see, but through the perception of the artist. When I look at the paintings, then I really wonder to learn how one or another person can see the sun, the sky, sea, forest, field and so on. Such masterpieces inspire to produce new ideas and to create own drawings. I want to to recall, that there are several types of landscapes, such as seascape, rural landscape, cityscape and architectural landscape. Besides landscapes can be divided by the season ones. I like seascapes most of all. My favorite artist is Russian romantic Aivazovsky. I really feel the mysterious breath of the sea in his paintings.
