Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for a parrot is parrot. The parrot entity has a unique set of data tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.
What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?
NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as parrot). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {Variant:3}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {Variant:3, CustomName:"\"Chatty\""}.

Target Selectors
Before we finish discussing data tags, let's quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=parrot value, you can target parrots:
@e[type=parrot]
Target Selector Examples
To change the nearest parrot to cyan:
/data merge entity @e[type=parrot,limit=1,sort=nearest] {Variant:3}
To kill all parrots:
/kill @e[type=parrot]
