How to Tame Parrots

Feed the parrot any type of wild seed. Hold some wheat seeds in your hand and right-click (PC/Mac) on the parrot (or use the corresponding console control). Continue feeding the parrot until red hearts appear around it—that’s how you know you’ve tamed it. All types of seeds work for this, including melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, beetroot seeds, and even cocoa beans.

Walk directly through the parrot. Crossing the parrot’s path causes it to fly over and perch on your shoulder.

Collect up to 2 parrots on your shoulders. Repeat this process with multiple parrots to get 2 parrots perching on your shoulders.
