I don't necessarily agree with numbers 2 through 10 but they hit the nail on the head with #1 :)

I can imagine how you was suprised at the end :D I can't chose the most beutiful one because I love too many parrots;) Probably no one will agree in 100% because everyone can do own "top 10":p

BTW I don't like when somebody says "parrot breeds" like in this vid... and they weird explained about 'tiel classification - they still are in cockatoo familly, they only have own subfamilly...
Ps. I created a new thread to create our "top 10" ;) http://www.parrotforums.com/game-room/83527-favorite-parrots.html

Umbrella Cockatoo- 15? years old..I think?
Now that I'm not focused on underpants, I am confused--- he sounds like he is a native-English-speaker....yet many of his statements are very awkward:
"and some yellow spot on the head"?...."female are bright red and blue"? "biggest reported number"?
I know you were teasing when you said it was supposed to be funny, but it is kind of funny in an awkward way. LOL!--Not that grammar is funny, but when you sound so official, it kind of is...He sounds like a news-anchor so it is unexpected ha.

It is also funny because
cockatoos are 2nd on the list ?!?!? I LOVE them and I think they are SO CUTE, but beautiful is probably a questionable term for their...aesthetic..unless they are captured gliding along through the Indonesian mountainside-- and let's face it, the scenery really gives them a boost in those instances.
EDIT--- My bad-- they are #9 lol...Granted, I still think most birds are prettier. They just aren't really "pretty" in my estimation.

Now let's talk about macaws--- those "Vibrant colored beasts"...haha

You can tell the person who made this video does not own parrots and probably only did a minimal amount of research to make the video. Such a random smorgasbord of “facts” that don’t really flow well from species to species and sound like they were pulled verbatim from various articles and species fact sheets online. At least the visual presentation is a nice collection of videos, but could do without the narration lol.

How did you like the estimated longevity, like near everything was around 30 years.

The fall back or background story has to be humor with the sheer number of 'what did he say' statements.

At first, I was disdained that Amazons where not listed! But the more I watched, the more comfort I had that there is enough poor to bad information regarding Amazons out there now, no need to add more.

Yaaa, Under Pants!!! 'Like What Did He Say'!!! :D

Okay, they got one thing right! Hawkheads!!!

Enjoyable video but yeah, the information quality is like a school project by an eleven year old. I can at least understand why a non-enthusiast would lump together all cockatoos and all large macaws, but lumping budgerigars and Indian ringnecks together? Because they both have long tails and can learn a lot of words? The similarities are extremely shallow and they don't even look alike, and looks are what the list is supposed to be about. I'll still rewatch because he put together nice footage.

I certainly agree with the number 1 spot... but I don't see how the Bronze wing was ranked so high, compared to all the other gorgeous parrots out there... and the "Parakeet" category including Ringnecks and Budgies of all types was... well... just wrong.
You'd really have to be more specific to rank them, IMHO, because some Macaws for example are just stunning, while others are more muted in color.
Of course, any video that shows lots of clips of parrots and speaks praise of them is a thumbs up just for the content. :D
