According to Minecraft.net, parrots can imitate the sounds of nearby mobs, making them excellent companions for alerting you to dangers!

Step-by-Step Guide on Taming a Parrot

Once you have seeds ready, follow these simple steps:

1. Find a parrot in tropical biomes such as jungles.


2. Approach the parrot with seeds in hand.


3. Right-click (or tap) on the parrot multiple times until hearts appear.

Keep in mind that you may need to try a few times, as taming is not always guaranteed on the first attempt.

What If the Parrot Doesn't Tame Immediately?

It's common for players to encounter resistance when trying to tame their parrots. Patience is key; keep offering seeds until the hearts appear.
