They are indeed the rasping, raucous and rambunctious birds of the family Psittacidae that we are familiar with.
However, I venture to suggest that those occupying the White House probably belong to a sub-species(!) because they're in a class of their own.
They are alike as much as they are unalike. They are full of themselves and worse, they are repugnant, repulsive and reprehensible!
I don’t mean to insult parrots per se but that seems to be the closest description I can give to Donald Trump’s coterie of Cabinet members who are very good at mimicking their boss.
Parrot expert Michael Schindlinger had explained in Scientific American in 2007 that mimicking helps parrots separate members of their own community from outsiders.
In Trump’s case, it isolates, detaches and sets apart his inner circle of flunkies from the rest of America.
You should also know that most parrots are actually simply mimicking their owners. They don't really know what they're saying.
The same is true with Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy and Trump's coordinator on the use of the National Defense Production Act Peter Navarro and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
And I thought Malaysian government ministers are hopeless. I tell you, the Americans are not any better.
