Difference between a parrot and a bird?

Lots! They are a different Order of Aves. Peafowls are Galliformes, or fowl; a group that includes birds like turkey, chicken, quail, and pheasants. This group includes more ground dwelling birds. In comparison, parrots are up on trees and fly more. Their habitats and diets are different. Parrots are in the order Psittaciformes, found in tropical and subtropical environments. Hope this helps!
