Parrot

Parrots are upcoming flying-capable tamable mobs.

Spawning
Parrots will only spawn in jungle biomes, at a relatively frequent rate.

Appearance
Parrots come in five different colors: red, green, blue, cyan and gray.

They are 0.5 blocks wide and 1 block tall.

Drops
When killed, they will drop 1 or 2 feathers.

Behavior


Parrots are passive mobs, and will never attack, even if you attack them. They are able to fly, and will usually fly upwards if struck. They will fly under normal conditions, but they can "tire" and return to the ground. They may fly upwards and then spin around in circles in the same X/Z co-ordinate instead of flying in a direction, but this is likely due to a bug.

They can be tamed by feeding them cookies. When tamed, right-clicking on them will have them sit on your shoulder. Although they will dismount if you jump or enter water, parrots will slowly fly after you, and may teleport if there is a sufficient distance. You can have one parrot on each shoulder.

Parrots may also imitate the passive sounds of hostile mobs nearby (as well as the hiss of creepers); the sound produced by the parrots are simply the same sound with a higher pitch.

Parrots crowd and settle around other mobs nearby.

Data values
