General
Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Pinyin readings reflect standard Mandarin usage; for some dialect alternative names it may be of little practical use, especially for South China. Many Korean glosses are highly tentative. Comments and corrections welcome.
The parrots are known in Chinese as 鹦鹉 yīngwǔ or 鹦哥 yīnggē -- in ordinary usage, 鹦哥 yīnggē is more informal.
Other names include 能言鸟 néng-yán-niǎo 'can speak bird' and 臊陀 sāotuó, from Sanskrit.
Cultural:
Chinese uses the expression 鹦鹉学舌 yīngwǔ xuéshé, literally 'parrot learn-tongue', to refer to mechanical repetition of what someone else says.
