Compared to current rainforests, the ones in the future will begin to have more small streams, their rivers will enlarge over time due to rising sea levels, and melting glaciers. Due to the changing climate and nature of this biome, I believe that the parrot will begin to form webbed feet and feathers that are more water-resistant to help with body temperature. According to data ocean levels will rise 7.5 feet in the next 500 years. According to other studies, the rainforests will be 40% gone by 2050 and they will be completely gone in only 100 years if we don't cut back on fossil fuels, meat, unnecessary car trips, etc. For those reasons, I am making the parrot able to go and survive In fresh and saltwater with the webbed feet and better waterproofing on the feathers to be able to swim.
