How to Find and Tame a Minecraft Parrot

Parrot Minecraft is one of 8 monsters that players can tame in Minecraft. For that, you have to know how to find and tame them.

The Minecraft parrot is a rare tamable monster that can perch on the player's shoulder and mimic the sounds of nearby enemy monsters. They are a bit hard to find and some players don't even know that parrots exist.

These birds are a harmless mob which means they are passive. They just flew around trying to avoid getting hurt if they were attacked by players. Players can find these monsters in cyan, blue, green, red, and even gray.

These mobs will drop feathers when they are killed, and they are pretty easy to beat. It only took a stroke or two of the sword to kill them, and what made it easier was that they didn't strike back.

How to Find a Minecraft Parrot

Parrots naturally lay their eggs in biome forest and bamboo forest. Their spawn chance is very low but only 0.2.

Additionally, they can only be found at Y-level 70 or above, in groups of 1-2. Therefore, if the player wants to collect all the colors of the parrot, it may take a while. They lay their eggs only in logs, leaves and grass.

Apart from looking around manually, players can use forest seeds or activate cheats and use the /locate command.

Alternatively, you can take a seed number and use some online biome finder tools such as chunk base.

Minecraft jungle biomes contains many rare monsters in the game such as panda, witch, ocelot and parrot. There will also be mobs of enemies here, so players need to stay alert when looking for parrots.

Forests usually spawn next to the mega taiga biome, but it's not always guaranteed that they will. Most of the time, however, they do, so if the player encounters a mega taiga biome, be wary of the jungle biome nearby.
