Parrots Taste With the Tops of Their Beaks

Though parrots do have some taste glands at the backs of their throats, most of their 300 or so taste buds are located on the roofs of their mouths.

Depending on the species, birds may have fewer than 50 or up to roughly 500 taste buds, while humans have 9,000-10,000 taste buds. Birds can taste sweet, sour, and bitter flavors, and they learn which of those tastes are the most suitable and nutritious food sources.

Research indicates that some birds may have a sense of smell, which can be used to find their nests for example, but, on the whole, they depend on their eyesight and hearing to detect food, shelter and danger.  These birds have a highly developed sense of smell which they use to find their food.

Parrot sleeping positions

Standing up: The parrot will tuck one foot up into its body feathers. The tendon in the other leg locks around the branch so that the bird doesn't fall off the perch.

Is spicy food bad for birds?

Hot stuff: The active ingredient in hot peppers, capsaicin, can be found as an additive in some birdseed. Birds don't react to capsaicin the way mammals do so it does them no harm.
