Parrots in Minecraft are colorful creatures found primarily in jungle biomes, where they spawn in small groups of one to two, typically perched above leaves, logs, or grassy patches. They can be tamed using seeds, including melon seeds, wheat seeds, pumpkin seeds, and beetroot seeds, with a 33.33% chance of successful taming each time seeds are fed. Once tamed, parrots can follow players or perch on their shoulders. Players should avoid feeding parrots cookies, as they are harmful, and be cautious around dangerous areas like water or lava to prevent injury to the parrots.
