from Mock. 
Macaws are a larger, but not less docile 
species of Parrot ; and all the Parrots are 
natives of the Tropical regions, through se- 
veral parts of which the different species 
are naturally spread. Generally speaking, 
the true Parrots belong to Africa; the 
Cockatoos and Lories, to India and the In- 
dian, or Eastern Islands, down to Australia. 
Parrakeet, or Parroquets, are small species 
of Parrots; and there are small species of 
Macaws, called Parrakeet Macaws.
