Abstract: 

The parrots of the world have always delighted humans for their stunning plumage, their playful nature, and their ability to mimic human speech and form friendships with people. Importantly, many, not all of them, belong to a group of birds with the largest brain to body weight ratio, and some are even on a par with primates. Brain weight or size is measured relative to body weight or size.
