With their brilliant jewel-toned feathers and audacious feather-flapping displays, the sheer natural beauty of birds is one of the top reasons that they're popular pets. In all sizes and in a range of all the colors of the rainbow, it's hard to pick just one favorite. Reviewing the characteristics of a few might help you narrow your choice down -- or it could end up making the decision more difficult.
Macaws are on the larger end of the parrot scale, and they can be demanding and high-maintenance. Hyacinth macaws, however, are the big, blue baby of the macaws, and are affectionate birds who enjoy cuddling. Their huge, nearly four-foot bodies are covered in feathers of a unique muted-blue color and they sport bright yellow around their eyes and beak. Scarlet macaws are a bit smaller at just over three feet, but they're affectionate birds, too. The bright red of their body feathers accented with a rainbow of colors on their wings is what lands the scarlet macaw on the top 10 list.
Eye-Catching Cockatoos----->>>
The crests that cockatoos sport are attractive characteristics that alone could be the basis for admitting them to the top 10 beautiful birds. A couple of types of cockatoos are especially pretty, though. The rose-breasted cockatoo's face and chest feathers are a rosy-pink color, fading to a light pink on his crest, with silver-gray feathers on his back. The black palm cockatoo is another whose coloring veers from the traditional white of most other cockatoos. Black palms have charcoal colored feathers with pinkish patches below their eyes and a smudge of black at the tops of their beaks. The crest on the black palm cockatoo is impressive, too, standing tall like a punk-rocker's hairstyle when it's fully raised.
Charming Conures---->>>>

Conures are the mid- to small-sized models of pet parrots, and they come in many colors. One of the most beautiful is the sun conure, a bright yellow-gold bird with dabs and streaks of green and orange all over his body. The crimson bellied conure makes the top 10 list because of his contrast to the sunny. Where the sun conure is bright, the crimson conure sports deep, bold colors such as green and blue, mixed with a bit of grey. And, as his name suggests, his lower chest and belly feathers are vivid red.
Prominent Parrots---->>>>
If fancy features are what makes a parrot is beautiful to you, you'll agree with the decision to place the hawk-headed parrot on the top 10 list. It's not his colors individually that are impressive, but how they're painted that make him attractive. The hawk-headed parrot's body is mostly green, but his chest feathers are a patchwork of red and purple. Those same red and purple colors decorate the feathers in a ruff around his neck that he raises into a halo from time to time. For sheer intensity of color, the eclectus makes the top 10 cut. Male eclectus are mostly vibrant green with bits of blue and red around and under the wings. Their beaks look like big hunks of candy corn, orange at the top and fading to yellow toward the bottom. You can tell them apart from the females easily: the girls have bright red heads with black beaks and purplish-blue bodies.
Fine-Looking Finches---->>>

Not all beautiful birds are parrots. Finches are tiny, but they are some of the most stunning of pet birds. Diamond firetail finches are mostly grey and brown, but the flash of crimson on their little behinds and the bright coral on their beaks and around their eyes make them quite striking. Gouldian finches are more common and more colorful, too. With a red mask on his face, lavender chest feathers, a yellow belly and green wings, the Gouldian attractively displays a daring combination of colors.
