Despite their bright colors, their ability to “talk”, and their friendly personalities, it turns out that parrots are cousins of fearsome falcons, the most deadly hunters of all living birds. Although the idea that parrots and falcons are related is rather mind-boggling to some, the resemblance is easier to digest when you strip the gaudy plumage from the equation.

Falcons possess a razor-sharp indentation in their bill called the tomial tooth, which is designed to sever the spinal cord of other birds.
