#Nature Awareness 5/23/2013 - Parrot. Parrots are quite often some of the most vivid birds in the animal kingdom. They are known and adored for their bright plumage, flair, high intelligence, and the ability to learn words and communicate them back. Parrots will teach those working with this totem the qualities needed to capture the color, joy, and magic in life's endeavors. Parrot teaches listening to all of nature and awakening to the language within using intuition for more open communications. They bridge understandings, one to another, and will show a deeper and very subtle harmony inherent in all things through their keen spiritual perceptions. As a natural animal, parrots display many of these things in basic interactions, such as intelligence, good temperament, and a even sense of diplomacy, too. Symbolism: sharp visions, spiritual perceptions, high level of intelligence, language, vibrancy, alertness, bravery, calm demeanor, style.
