DISCLAIMER: YOU MIGHT KNOW SOME OF THESE IF SO, GIVE YOURSELF A HIGH-5! :]
THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT PARROTS
When a music disc is played, parrots will party.
They can also fly and dance at the same time.
The dancing is a reference to the "Party Parrot" internet meme.. =O
This meme has apparently been really popular among the development team.
Parrots come in 5 variants.
Red, lime, blue, cyan and gray.
The parrots are based on real-life macaws, "with a little Minecraft twist."
Remember the cyan and the red.
Those two are likely based on ara parrots..
Now take a good look at the gray one..
That one is likely based on some kind of cockatoo.
I'm not sure about the last two..
For some reason, parrots are very fascinated by other mobs.
They have a tendecy to follow and cicrle them. :]
They're super cute!
Once you've tamed a parrot, you can tell it to sit like a cat or a dog.
You can also have them sit on your shoulders..
You can get them off by jumping.
Originally, cookies were used to tame parrots.
However, this was quickly changed after a reddit-user pointed out a serious issue. :I
Chocolate is toxic to real-life parrots.. :,(
With millions of players, this could lead to the death of real-life pet parrots..
To avoid fatal misunderstandings, we now have to use seeds instead.
This simple mistake could have been a serious catastrophe.. Aka Really bad!!
Parrots have a fun interaction with hostile mobs.
They try to imitate the sound it makes!
They aren't perfect at it, so it'll be a bit higher pitched. :]
Even the hiss of a creeper will be imitated! Bla bla bla. Hiss hiss, meow, Grrrrr, ect.
