A '''parrot''' is a [[tame]]able [[passive mob]] that spawns in jungle [[biome]]s. Parrots imitate [[sound]]s of nearby monsters and can perch on the [[player]]'s shoulders.

== Spawning ==
Parrots naturally spawn in groups of 1–2 in [[jungle]]s, [[bamboo jungle]]s, and [[sparse jungle]]s{{only|bedrock|short=1}}  above [[log]]s, [[leaves]], or [[grass block]]s.

Unlike most passive mobs, parrots cannot be [[bred]].

== Drops ==
=== On death ===
{{DropsTableHead}}
{{DropsLine|name=Feather|quantity=1-2|lootingquantity=1}}
{{DropsTableFoot}}
{{xp|1|3}} [[experience]] orbs are dropped when parrots are killed by a player or a tamed [[wolf]].

== Behavior ==
Parrots fly around idly under normal circumstances, landing frequently to rest.<ref>{{tweet|MiaLem_n|846995981208096768|Yes they fly, as high as they want to. :) But they do get tired and prefer to have somewhere to land.|March 29, 2017}}</ref> They take interest in any nearby [[mob]]s, including those that are hostile to them, and follow them around closely. When attacked, they rapidly fly upward several blocks to flee.

Parrots also flap their wings to [[swim]], and to slow their falls and prevent [[fall damage]].

Parrots can be [[tame]]d by feeding them [[wheat seeds]], [[melon seeds]], [[pumpkin seeds]], [[beetroot seeds]], [[torchflower seeds]], or [[Pitcher Pod|pitcher pods]]. Each item fed has a {{frac|1|10}} chance of successfully taming them. Once tamed, {{control|interacting}} with a parrot makes it sit down and stand up.

A tamed parrot follows the [[player]] unless told to sit, and teleports if there is a distance of 12 blocks between it and the player. A [[death message]] is displayed to a parrot's owner upon its death. 

{{IN|java}}, attempting to feed a parrot a [[cookie]] instantly kills it, emitting [[Poison]] particles as it dies. {{IN|bedrock}}, attempting to feed a parrot a cookie also instantly kills it, but [[Fatal Poison]] are emitted instead. This is a reference to the fact that chocolate is toxic to parrots.

=== Sitting on a shoulder ===
[[File:Parrot Shoulder.png|thumb|A [[player]] with a parrot on their shoulder.]]

A tamed parrot on the ground can be made to perch on its [[player]]'s shoulder by moving through the parrot. On its own, a tamed parrot can also fly to and perch on the player's shoulder, unless it has been told to sit. A player can have one parrot on each shoulder. Parrots always prefer a player's left shoulder first, if it is empty.

A parrot dismounts its player when the player:
* Lands on a higher surface ({{frac|1|2}} block up or higher)
* drops off a ledge of higher than {{frac|3|4}} of a block
* takes damage
* touches water
* touches powder snow
* is in creative flying mode
* starts gliding with an elytra<ref>{{bug|MC-118003}}</ref>
* sleeps on a bed
* submerges the player's head in [[lava]] (the parrot dismounts  and burns even if the player has [[Fire Resistance]])

Parrots on a shoulder always look in the same direction the player's head is looking.

A parrot on a shoulder cannot take any [[damage]] but may get hurt as soon as it dismounts, as when dismounting a player submerged in [[lava]].

A parrot sitting on the shoulder appears in the [[inventory]] interface.

{{IN|be}}, a parrot sitting on a shoulder prevents the player from entering a [[nether portal]].<ref>{{bug|MCPE-27950}}</ref>

=== Imitating sounds ===
Parrots imitate the idle [[sound]]s of nearby [[hostile mob]]s, friendly [[passive mob]]s and certain [[neutral mob]]s  (including the hiss of [[creeper]]s but excluding [[guardian]]s and [[elder guardian]]s); they have a detection range of 20 blocks. {{IN|be}}, they can also imitate [[cow]]s, [[ocelot]]s, [[pig]]s, [[sheep]], [[cat]]s, [[horse]]s, [[chicken]]s, [[bee]]s, [[mooshrooms]], [[goat]]s, [[bat]]s, [[panda]]s, [[donkey]]s, [[mule]]s, [[skeleton horse]]s, [[villager]]s, [[llama]]s, [[zombie horse]]s, [[wandering trader]]s, [[trader llama]]s, [[cod]], [[salmon]], [[iron golem]]s, [[axolotl]]s, [[squid]]s, [[snow golem]]s, [[polar bear]]s, [[fox|foxes]], [[tropical fish]], [[pufferfish]], [[allay]]s, and [[wolf|wolves]]. The sound produced by the parrots is the same sound as the mob being mimicked at a higher pitch. Occasionally, a parrot may imitate sounds of mobs that are not in the area.<ref>{{bug|MC-115509|resolution=Works as Intended}}</ref>

=== Dancing ===
Parrots dance near a [[jukebox]] if a [[music disc]] is inside it. Parrots even have the ability to dance while on a [[player]]'s shoulder.{{only|bedrock|short=y}} This is a reference to the Party Parrot meme.<ref>{{tweet|MiaLem_n|849665440733429761|It took you no time at all to find the party parrot easter egg! But there is one more you haven't found...|April 5, 2017}}</ref> They do not stop dancing when the track ends; as long as the disc remains in the jukebox, the parrot continues dancing even after the music stops.<ref>{{bug|MC-157412}}</ref> 

The dancing radius is 3 blocks from the jukebox. If they dance and then fly beyond this radius, they stop dancing. A parrot does not dance if the music disc was inserted prior to it spawning, dismounting, or being within the 3 blocks range.<ref>{{bug|MC-115446|||WF}}</ref>

== Sounds==
