| Special Skills | A parrot can imitate the sounds of nearby hostile mobs |
Hostility Level (Passive)
A parrot is a passive mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and parrots. Because a parrot is a passive mob, it will never attack you in the game (Creative or Survival mode).
Health Points
In Minecraft, a parrot has 3 hearts for health. This gives a parrot 6 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a parrot, you need to inflict 6 points of damage to the parrot.
Where to Find Parrots
In Minecraft, parrots can be found in the Jungle and Bamboo Jungle biomes.
Jungle
Bamboo Jungle
If you are having trouble finding a parrot, you can summon a parrot using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
Weapon
A parrot does not carry a weapon.
Attack Method
You are safe to walk near a parrot and it will not attack or cause you any damage. And if you attack a parrot, it will just try to fly away. It will not attack you back.
Drops
When you kill a parrot in Minecraft, it will drop feathers.
Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
Experience Points
As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.
These orbs represent experience points. When you kill a parrot, you will gain 1-3 experience points.
