How to Tame a Minecraft Parrot
-
Equip any type of seed in your hand. Switch over to any seed in your inventory—wheat, pumpkin, torchflower, beetroot, and melon seeds are all fair game. To raise your chances of success, have multiple seeds in your inventory beforehand.
- Don’t have any seed? Collect wheat seeds by breaking down grass blocks in the nearby terrain. It’s also fairly simple to find melon seeds in different areas, like jungles and NPC villages.
-
Feed it to the parrot until hearts appear around it. Right-click on the parrot with the equipped seed to feed it. Continue clicking (with the seed still equipped) to feed the parrot until hearts appear over it—that means it’s tamed. [1] X Research source
- Use LT for Xbox, L2 for PS4 or PS5, and the ZL button for Nintendo Switch.
- A tamed parrot will sit on your shoulder, and it’ll also follow you around. If you tame multiple parrots, up to 2 birds can sit on your shoulders.
- Warning: If you find or make cookies , don’t feed them to your feathered friend—the parrot will die immediately.
