• Parrots like to mimic the sounds of other mobs
• Parrots are known to hang out around all kinds of mobs.
• If a parrot is near a jukebox playing music it’ll begin to dance.

How to Tame a Parrots

Do Not Feed Them Cookies

Once a parrot is fed a cookie, it'll have a green effect around it. Then it'll begin to fly around aimlessly in the air before dying.

How to Get a Parrot on Your Shoulder

Once a parrot is tamed, they will follow you around and if you walk into a parrot they’ll hop on your shoulder.

And if you have two tamed parrots you could have one on each shoulder.

Listed below are all the ways to get a parrot off your shoulder.

• Take damage.
• Fall from a high place.
• Go in water.
• Sleep
• Swim in Lava (The Parrot will take damage too)

How to Breed a Parrots

To breed a parrot, you’ll need to tame them first. After you have the parrots tamed, you’ll need to feed them any kind of seed. Once you’ve done that, you won’t need to build any animal farm to keep the parrots from flying away, as they consistently follow you unless commanded otherwise.

Now that you have the seeds, make sure to feed the parrots. Once the parrots are fed, they’ll enter love mode and a baby parrot will spawn within seconds.

Now that you've learned how to breed parrots, why not check out our Taming Guide that details everything you need to know about Taming Animals in Minecraft.
