Looking for every egg you can actually get in Minecraft, plus how to use them well? This guide covers what counts as an egg, where each one comes from, and practical setups that keep your worlds efficient and tidy. The short list is simple: Chicken Egg, Turtle Egg, Sniffer Egg, Dragon Egg, and Spawn Eggs in Creative. Everything else you have heard about, like parrot eggs or wolf eggs, is either a myth or a Creative only item.

What Counts As An Egg In Minecraft

In survival play you are working with three hatchable eggs you can directly find or make happen: chicken, turtle, and sniffer. The dragon egg is a unique trophy block. Spawn eggs are a Creative and commands thing that let you place mobs directly. Knowing which is which saves a lot of time that would otherwise vanish to rumor chasing.

Chicken Eggs

Chickens drop eggs passively, so any time you see free range chickens you are basically standing on a passive farm. Chickens lay an egg roughly every 5 to 10 minutes, and you can also find eggs in Fletcher chests and Trial Chambers dispensers in newer worlds. Throwing an egg has a 1 in 8 chance to spawn a chick and there is a 1 in 256 chance that a single egg pops out four chicks at once. Eggs craft into cake and pumpkin pie, which is handy if you want early game food variety without hunting.

Simple farm that just works: trap 10 to 20 chickens on a hopper floor that feeds a chest. A roof two blocks high keeps them from hopping onto edges. Add a composter on a second hopper chain to dump excess seeds from your wheat farm back into bone meal. If you want to auto hatch, point a dispenser at a 1 by 1 pen and clock it to fire eggs. You will get the occasional jackpot burst of chicks thanks to the four chick roll stated above.

Turtle Eggs

Turtle eggs are a block that holds from 1 to 4 eggs. You get them by breeding two turtles with seagrass, then the pregnant turtle swims home and lays on its home beach. Turtle eggs only drop as items when mined with Silk Touch. Without Silk Touch they break. They hatch on sand or red sand after progressing through three crack stages and hatch faster at night. Zombies and their variants will try to seek out and trample turtle eggs, which is exactly why many farms use them as bait. On average, expect hatching after about four to five nights if you protect them and stay within ticking distance.

Practical uses go well beyond baby turtles and scutes. Turtle eggs are elite bait for hostile mob paths. Place one behind trapdoors over a hole and zombies will shuffle over the edge trying to stomp it. For Nether gold farms, a protected egg can pull zombified piglins into your drop chute while you stay safe. The only real gotchas are that eggs do not tick if you are too far away, and they demand sand to hatch, so do not move a nearly cracked egg onto stone and expect progress.

Protection tip: fence off the nest two blocks high, slab the top so mobs cannot spawn, and replace the sand under the egg with a full block of glass or smooth stone so you can see and count crack stages without mining. If you need to relocate, bring Silk Touch, pick the egg carefully, and re place it on sand so the night timer actually helps you.

Sniffer Eggs

Sniffer eggs entered the game with archaeology. You can brush them from suspicious sand inside warm ocean ruins or get them by breeding two sniffers with torchflower seeds. If you are going the archaeology route, the sniffer egg has about a 6.7 percent chance to appear in those suspicious sand blocks. That means some dives are dry and others pay off twice. Once you have an egg, place it on moss to halve the hatch time compared to normal blocks. The hatching process has two crack stages and on moss is roughly ten minutes, which is lightning fast by egg standards. Sniffer eggs always drop themselves when mined, there is no Silk Touch requirement here.

If you would rather skip ruin hunting, breed two sniffers inside a safe paddock using torchflower seeds and collect the egg they drop as an item. This is the more controlled way to scale up sniffers for torchflower and pitcher pod production, and it avoids the whole drowned patrol issue that comes with ocean ruins.

Dragon Egg

The dragon egg is a one of a kind trophy that spawns on top of the exit portal after the first Ender Dragon defeat. Respawning and re beating the dragon does not create another egg, so treat it like a museum piece. Most players accidentally tap it and watch it teleport a short distance. To safely pick it up, use one of two classic methods. Either place a torch under the block that supports the egg and break that block so the egg falls onto the torch and drops as an item, or push it with a piston which also forces it to drop. Both bypass the teleport behavior and keep it from disappearing into the End portal.

Beyond bragging rights, the egg emits a tiny bit of light and acts like a gravity block, which allows a few decorative tricks. It does not hatch into anything and cannot be duplicated in normal survival play. If you showcase it in your base, put it in a glass case so random clicks do not send you on a scavenger hunt.

Spawn Eggs

Spawn eggs let you place a mob instantly and can also change the mob type of a spawner when used on it. In survival these are not collectible through normal gameplay. They are only obtainable in Creative or with commands, and they get consumed when used in survival. There are eggs for almost every mob, including utility ones like the iron golem. If you are working in a Creative test world to prototype farms, spawn eggs speed up iteration and make reading mob AI behavior much easier to learn.

Eggs That Do Not Exist In Vanilla Survival

Some egg rumors never die, so let’s clear them in one sweep. There is no parrot egg, wolf egg, villager egg, or any other animal egg in survival aside from chickens, turtles, and sniffers. If you have seen videos that claim otherwise, they are using datapacks, addons, or Creative spawn eggs. If you want parrots or wolves, you tame them the regular way.

Smart Setups For Each Egg

Chicken eggs shine as passive income. A small coop over a hopper line means you will never run short of eggs for cake or a redstone breeder. If the ticking noise from dispensers bugs you, switch to manual hatches. Use a temporary lever clock to burst hatch a stack, then remove the clock.

Turtle eggs are best treated like delicate sensors. Zombies pathfind to eggs, so drop a single egg into your hostile mob grinder to lure them into fall traps. For scute production, set up a beachside nursery with fenced lanes that funnel hatchlings into a water canal. Baby turtles grow into adults and drop scutes when they shed, which you can pick up with hoppers. Keep the nursery lit and covered so phantoms and drowned do not ruin the cycle.

Sniffer eggs reward you for building a little moss garden. Set moss blocks inside a protected pen, place the egg on top, and let the half time bonus do the work. When the snifflet hatches, keep torchflower seeds nearby to lock in the first breed and scale the population. If you still want the archaeology hunt, map your oceans and search the warm and lukewarm regions for sandstone style ruins. Bring doors or water breathing, night vision, and a brush. The 6.7 percent drop chance means patience pays off over a few structures, not just one.

Dragon egg displays do not need to be complicated. Place it on chains or amethyst for a pedestal, and add a single hidden piston behind glass in case you ever want to reclaim it without panic clicking. You only get the one, so make it feel important.

Quick Reference

Chicken Egg: passive drops from chickens, 12.5 percent hatch chance when thrown, used in cake and pumpkin pie, appears in some structures. Best with a hopper coop and optional auto hatcher.

Turtle Egg: bred with seagrass, Silk Touch to pick up, hatches on sand faster at night, useful as mob bait and for scutes. Guard against trampling. Average four to five nights per hatch.

Sniffer Egg: found by brushing suspicious sand in warm ocean ruins at about 6.7 percent, or by breeding sniffers with torchflower seeds. Hatches twice as fast on moss. No Silk Touch needed.

Dragon Egg: first dragon kill only, teleports on click, collect safely with torch fall or piston push. Trophy piece, not hatchable.

Spawn Eggs: Creative or commands only, can set spawner type, consumed when used in survival. Great for prototyping in test worlds.

With the right setups, eggs become more than curiosities. They are quiet automation tools, lures for smarter farms, and a few satisfying trophies that mark your progress through a world. Keep them protected, keep the chunks ticking, and they will do a lot of work for you while you go adventuring.

A cauldron is a compact utility block that stores different substances and enables a handful of useful mechanics. Depending on your game edition, a cauldron can hold water, lava, potions, and powder snow, act as the job site for leatherworker villagers, and interact with redstone by exposing its fill level. In Bedrock Edition it also powers some exclusive tricks like dyeing leather armor in dyed water and making tipped arrows directly in the cauldron.

How to Craft or Find a Cauldron

Crafting is simple: place 7 iron ingots in a U shape in the crafting grid. You can also loot naturally generated cauldrons in places like swamp huts, igloos, village tanneries, woodland mansions, and trail ruins, which is handy early on when iron is tight.

Cauldron Basics: Filling, Levels, Weather, and Redstone

A water cauldron has three levels. Buckets fill or empty it in one interaction, while bottles move it one level at a time. Rain can slowly fill an exposed cauldron with water in either edition. A comparator placed behind a cauldron outputs a redstone signal that corresponds to its fill level, which you can use for automation such as alert lamps or dispensers in more advanced builds.

Quick interactions that matter:

• Extinguishing: Stepping into a water or powder snow cauldron puts out fire. Useful in the Nether where open water placement is restricted.
• Cleaning: Using a dyed banner, dyed leather armor, or a dyed shulker box on a water cauldron removes the latest layer of color or pattern and consumes one water level. Great for correcting creative mistakes.

Water Cauldrons: Everyday Tricks

Water cauldrons shine as portable utilities.

• Potion staging in Bedrock: A cauldron can store potions by the level, letting you bottle them back out or use them to tip arrows. This is storage plus crafting all in one block.
• Nether hydration workaround: You cannot place water in the Nether, but placing water inside a cauldron works. Keep one at blaze farms to put yourself out when you catch fire.
• Creative cleanup: Put a water cauldron near your loom and dye chests to quickly wash banners, armor, and shulker boxes during design sessions.

Tip: Keep a single cauldron with a hopper-fed bottle chest behind it. You can refill bottles from the cauldron without carrying stacks of water bottles around. The comparator output makes it easy to light a “low water” lamp so you know when to top up.

Dyeing and Potions in Bedrock Edition

Bedrock players get extra mileage from cauldrons.

• Dye leather armor in a cauldron: Fill a cauldron with water, add dye to color the water, then use leather armor, leather horse armor, or wolf armor on the cauldron to apply that color. You can mix colors by adding multiple dyes to the same cauldron and you’ll spend one water level per item dyed. Java Edition dyes leather via the crafting grid instead, not in cauldrons.
• Make tipped arrows: Fill a cauldron with a potion and use arrows on it to convert them to tipped arrows. This is more efficient than crafting with lingering potions and works great in bulk.

Tip: Place three Bedrock cauldrons side by side for a compact “color station” with primary, secondary, and accent colors. Keep a barrel of leather armor pieces above each cauldron so you can gear a whole squad quickly for minigames or adventures.

Lava Cauldrons and Renewable Lava With Dripstone

Since the Caves and Cliffs updates, lava became renewable through cauldrons. If you place a dripstone stalactite below a block that has a lava source above it, and a cauldron beneath the stalactite, the cauldron will slowly fill with lava. Scoop it with a bucket when full. This works in both Java and Bedrock.

Why this matters:

• Fuel forever: Smelters and blast furnaces love lava buckets. A simple dripstone-lava farm pays for itself quickly.
• Safe storage: A lava cauldron emits light and burns entities that fall in, but it keeps the lava nicely contained for decor or trash disposal.

Build pattern that just works:

1. Place a cauldron on the ground.
2. Above it, leave one air block, then place pointed dripstone hanging down.
3. One block above the dripstone, put a solid block and place a lava source on top of that block.
4. Repeat in a grid for as many cauldrons as you want. Feed the outputs into a row of hoppers that lead to a chest of lava buckets or a super-smelter.

Tip: Add a comparator facing out of each cauldron and wire them to indicator lamps. When a light turns on, that pot is full and ready to bucket. It keeps you from checking each one manually.

Powder Snow Cauldrons: How to Farm It

Set a cauldron under open sky in a snowy area and wait for snowfall. Over time, the cauldron fills with powder snow in up to three levels. When it is full, use an empty bucket to collect a powder snow bucket. Powder snow is useful for traps, clutch falls, and stray conversions.

Tip: Place several cauldrons at different Y levels in a cold biome. When a storm rolls in, you get multiple chances to fill simultaneously, since each cauldron rolls its own random ticks.

Java vs. Bedrock: The Key Differences

• Dyeing gear: Bedrock dyes leather armor in cauldrons with dyed water; Java dyes leather in the crafting grid and uses cauldrons mainly for washing and storage.
• Potions and arrows: Bedrock cauldrons can store potions and make tipped arrows directly; Java crafts tipped arrows with lingering potions at a crafting table.
• Shared features: Both editions support lava in cauldrons, renewable lava via dripstone, powder snow collection, rain filling with water, and cleaning banners and colored shulker boxes with water.

Smart Cauldron Setups To Build

• Micro smelter fueler: A 3 by 3 array of dripstone lava cauldrons feeding a hopper line into a barrel of lava buckets. Park this next to your furnace array and you will almost never run out of fuel.
• Design studio corner: One water cauldron with a comparator lamp for level warning, a loom, a chest of dyes, and a barrel of blank banners and leather. The cauldron handles washing while you iterate on designs.
• Nether safety station: In bastions and fortresses, a water cauldron acts as an emergency extinguisher. Add a sign above it so you can find it fast mid-fight.
• Bedrock color lab: Three Bedrock cauldrons pre-colored with your favorite palettes and a wall of item frames showing the results on leather armor pieces. Swap colors by emptying and re-dyeing the water as needed.

Common Questions

Does a lava cauldron power redstone differently from water?
A comparator reads the fill state of a cauldron. With water and powder snow you get distinct level readings; lava presents as a filled container for simple “full/not full” logic in most practical builds. Use a test lamp to know when to bucket.

Can I automate taking lava out with dispensers and buckets?
Dispenser behavior around cauldrons has limits, so most players just right click to collect buckets and let a hopper pull full buckets from a dropper line below the player spot. The comparator lamp helps you only interact when full.

Is powder snow dripstone-farmable like lava?
No. Powder snow only fills cauldrons during snowfall, not from dripstone drip. Plan farms in reliably snowy biomes and place multiple cauldrons.

What can I not put in a cauldron?
Milk, honey, and bowl foods do not go in cauldrons. Stick to water, lava, powder snow, and in Bedrock, potions.

With a single block, you get a compact utility tool for automation, aesthetics, and survival safety. Whether you are making a dripstone-powered lava farm, washing a banner before the perfect pattern, or color-matching leather sets in Bedrock, the cauldron quietly earns its spot in every base.

Looking for a “parrot egg” in Minecraft and coming up empty? You are not going crazy. There is no natural parrot egg in Survival and parrots cannot breed, so you will never find a parrot egg the way you find chicken eggs or turtle eggs. What players usually mean is the Parrot Spawn Egg, which is only available in Creative inventory or by using commands.

Quick answer

You cannot obtain a parrot egg in Survival. Parrots do not have baby variants and cannot breed, and spawn eggs are not obtainable without Creative or commands. If you want a “parrot egg,” you are looking for a Parrot Spawn Egg, which is a Creative-only item unless cheats are on.

What “parrot egg” actually means

Players use “parrot egg” as shorthand for the Parrot Spawn Egg. Spawn eggs instantly create a mob when used. They are items meant for Creative building, mapmaking, testing, or for worlds with cheats enabled. Spawn eggs are not thrown like normal eggs and are consumed on use in Survival. You can also click a mob spawner with a spawn egg to change what it spawns.

How to get a Parrot Spawn Egg (Creative and commands)

If you are in Creative mode, open your inventory and search for “Parrot Spawn Egg.” You can also middle-click a parrot with Pick Block to add its spawn egg to your hotbar. Outside Creative, you need commands:

Java Edition 1.13 and later

/give @p parrot_spawn_egg 1

The default namespace is implied. If you prefer to be explicit, use minecraft:parrot_spawn_egg.

Bedrock Edition

/give @s parrot_spawn_egg 1 0

This syntax works across current Bedrock versions. Replace @s with your name if you like.

If cheats are off, enable them in your world or open the world to LAN with “Allow Cheats” enabled on Java.

Spawning parrots without an egg

If you do not need the egg item itself, use the summon command:

Java Edition

/summon minecraft:parrot ~ ~ ~

To pick a color, add the Variant tag. Values are 0 to 4 for the five parrot colors:

/summon minecraft:parrot ~ ~ ~ {Variant:0}

That spawns a red parrot at your position.

Bonus uses for spawn eggs

• Use a dispenser to deploy a spawn egg automatically.
• Right-click a spawner with a Parrot Spawn Egg to turn it into a parrot spawner. Both behaviors are officially supported for spawn eggs.

Survival-friendly alternatives if you want parrots without cheats

If your goal is simply to have parrots in a Survival world, you do not need an egg at all.

Find a jungle biome. Parrots spawn naturally in Jungle and Bamboo Jungle variants, usually in singles or pairs. Explore at canopy level and listen for their high-pitched mimic sounds.

Tame with seeds. Feed any common seed type to a wild parrot to attempt taming. Once tamed, make them sit to keep them from wandering or walk through them to perch them on your shoulders.

Move them safely. Parrots will teleport if you get far enough, but boats are reliable for long trips across mixed terrain. Leads also work in Bedrock and Java.

Avoid cookies at all costs. Feeding a cookie to a parrot kills it in Java and applies fatal poison in Bedrock, a deliberate anti-teaching-kids-to-feed-chocolate-to-birds mechanic. Never test this.

Common myths and mistakes

“You can breed parrots with seeds.” No. Parrots still cannot breed, and there is no baby parrot in vanilla Minecraft. Some mods add parrot breeding, which is likely where this rumor starts, but that is modded gameplay, not vanilla.

“Parrots lay eggs if you build a nest box.” Also mod misinformation. There is no vanilla nest box and no parrot egg drop.

“Spawn eggs drop in Survival.” Spawn eggs never drop naturally. They are Creative-only items unless spawned with commands.

“Parrot eggs hatch into baby parrots like turtles.” Turtles use turtle eggs, sniffers use sniffer eggs, chickens lay eggs, but parrots have no egg mechanic in vanilla.

Java vs Bedrock differences you should know

Functionally, both editions gate the Parrot Spawn Egg behind Creative or commands, and parrots cannot breed in either edition. Two notes that trip people up:

• Cookie interaction differs in the log message but not the outcome. Java kills the parrot instantly and shows poison particles. Bedrock applies Fatal Poison for an absurd duration, which still results in death.
• Command syntax has small differences, particularly with /give arguments. The Bedrock form includes an extra number slot many guides still show as 0, while Java’s modern form uses the unqualified item name or minecraft: namespace.

Practical tips for collecting parrots in Survival

If your aim is a colorful aviary, skip the egg hunt and go on a jungle expedition. Bring a stack of seeds, a bed, extra tools, and a boat. Tame multiple parrots of different colors, sit them near a jukebox, and they will dance when music plays. If you need to relocate them to a base far away, nether-shortcutting with boats works, but keep them seated before portal crossings to avoid shoulder hitchhiking mishaps. Above all, keep cookies out of your hotbar when handling parrots to prevent tragic misclicks.

FAQ

Do villagers sell Parrot Spawn Eggs?
No. There is no trade for any spawn egg in vanilla. Use Creative or commands only.

Can I make a farm that produces parrot eggs or baby parrots?
No. Parrots do not lay eggs and cannot breed in vanilla. Any farm claiming otherwise is running a datapack or a mod.

What is the exact command to get one Parrot Spawn Egg on Java 1.21?
/give @p parrot_spawn_egg 1 or /give @p minecraft:parrot_spawn_egg 1. Both work.

How do I spawn a specific color parrot without an egg?
Use /summon minecraft:parrot ~ ~ ~ {Variant:N} where N is 0 to 4 for the different colors.

If you came here hunting for a parrot egg, the shortest path is simple: use a Parrot Spawn Egg via Creative or commands, or skip the egg entirely and find and tame parrots in a jungle. Either way, you will have a lively flock perched on your shoulders in no time.

Parrots are one of the most charming companions in Minecraft. They sit on your shoulder, copy nearby mob sounds, and even dance to a jukebox. If you want one of these colorful friends at your base, the path is simple once you know where to look and how taming works. This guide covers every step, plus practical tips to keep your parrot safe and actually useful.

Where Parrots Spawn

Parrots only generate naturally in jungle biomes. That includes regular Jungle, Bamboo Jungle, and the edges of those zones. Jungles are warm biomes filled with tall trees, vines, cocoa beans, and often melons and bamboo. Parrots perch at ground level and up in the leaves, so it helps to scan both the canopy and the forest floor.

If you are struggling to find a jungle, travel across oceans by boat and keep an eye out for warm biome transitions like savanna and desert. Increasing your render distance makes the towering jungle trees easier to spot. Once in the jungle, slow down. Parrots are small, quiet, and can blend with leaves. Listen for chirping and watch for flashes of red, blue, green, cyan, or gray.

What You Need Before You Hunt

Bring a stack of seeds. Any seed type works for taming and healing parrots, including wheat, melon, pumpkin, and beetroot seeds. Punching tall grass along the way is an easy way to stock up. Also bring food for yourself, a bed, and some blocks for climbing or scaffolding to reach birds perched high in the canopy. A boat is handy for the trip home.

Do not bring cookies for taming. In current Minecraft, cookies are harmful to parrots and can kill them. If you have cookies in your inventory, keep them far from your hotbar while interacting with birds.

How Taming a Parrot Works

Approach the parrot slowly so it does not wander off. Hold seeds and use your interact button on the parrot. Taming is chance based, so plan to use several seeds. Hearts will appear when the parrot is successfully tamed. A tamed parrot gets a subtle collar mark and will try to follow you. You can toggle sit and stand by interacting with it again.

If the parrot flies up to a branch, build up with blocks to get back in range. Placing temporary leaves, scaffolding, or ladders allows you to close distance without spooking the bird. It is easier to tame during the day when you are not dodging hostile mobs.

Getting Your Parrot Home Safely

There are three reliable ways to travel with a parrot.

First, use the shoulder method. Walk into your standing parrot and stop briefly. It will hop onto your shoulder, and you can start moving. You can actually carry two parrots at once, one on each shoulder. Be aware of dismount triggers. Jumping, taking damage, entering water, or descending sharply can cause a shoulder parrot to hop off. If you need to cross a river, bridge over, or place blocks to avoid splashing down.

Second, boat it. Parrots can ride in boats. Nudge or gently push the parrot into a boat, then hop in and row home. Boats are excellent for long overland hauls because they ignore many obstacles when moved across ice or waterways. If your route is mostly land, place short water channels or just pick up the boat with the bird inside and replace it a few blocks ahead to leapfrog your way home.

Third, teleport behavior. If the parrot is standing and following, it can teleport to you when you are far enough away, similar to cats and wolves. This is helpful but not fully predictable in dense terrain. If you are crossing caves or cliffs, the boat method is safer.

Keeping Parrots Alive

Parrots have low health, so treat them like glass. Avoid water, cactus, sweet berry bushes, lava, and campfires along your route. If your parrot takes damage, heal it with seeds. Feeding seeds to a tamed parrot restores health, so keep extras for the trek home. At base, give your parrot a safe corner away from hazards. Make them sit so they do not wander into danger or teleport into a fight you did not plan for.

Never feed a parrot a cookie. This is worth repeating because the mistake is easy to make. Cookies are not a treat. They are a death sentence for parrots in Minecraft.

Using Parrots for Gameplay Advantages

Parrots are not just cosmetic. They mimic nearby mob sounds, which can act as an early warning system. If you are mining and your parrot suddenly imitates a creeper or a skeleton, assume the real thing is within range and act accordingly. The mimicry uses a different pitch, so learn the cues and you will catch threats before they catch you.

Parrots also dance when a jukebox plays a music disc. It is purely for fun, but it makes a nice morale boost at base. If you want a lively vibe in your common room, place a jukebox and let the parrots do their thing.

Shoulder Mechanics You Should Know

Shoulder perching is automatic when you walk through your standing parrot. The bird will sit on you until you trigger a dismount. Jumping makes parrots hop off. Taking damage and entering water also dismounts them. Sneaking can force a hop off as well, which is helpful if you want the bird on the ground before you climb or fight. If you carry two parrots, any dismount event will put them both back on the ground.

If your parrot keeps hopping onto your shoulder while you build, make it sit before starting a project. This prevents accidental falls when you jump between scaffolds. When you finish, stand it up and it will follow again.

Can You Breed Parrots in Minecraft

No. Parrots cannot be bred. There are no eggs, nests, or baby parrots in survival. If you want multiple parrots, you must tame them individually. If you plan to decorate a big base with parrots in different rooms, grab extra seeds and tame several while you are already in the jungle.

Java and Bedrock Notes

Parrot behavior is nearly identical across Java and Bedrock. They spawn in jungle variants on both editions, tame with any seeds, cannot be bred, ride on shoulders, and dance to jukeboxes. Interact controls differ by platform, but the steps and results are the same. Parrots cannot be leashed with leads on either edition, so plan around boats, teleport follow, and shoulder riding for transport.

What To Do If Your Parrot Disappears

Tamed parrots do not despawn, but they can get left behind if you sprint through complex terrain or take long falls that force a dismount. Backtrack along your path and listen for the chirps and mimicry. If you cannot find the bird, return to the last safe area where you know it perched or sat. Once you get close enough, it will often teleport to you. To avoid this issue on long trips, stop periodically and check that your parrot is still with you, either on your shoulder or nearby.

Simple Step-By-Step: From Jungle To Home

Enter a jungle biome and gather at least one stack of seeds. Move slowly and watch for parrots at ground level and in leaves. When you find one, use seeds until hearts appear and the bird is tamed. Toggle it to stand, then choose your travel method. For the shoulder route, walk into the parrot to perch it and avoid jumping or water. For the boat route, push the parrot into a boat and row home. Heal with seeds if it takes damage, and set it to sit once you reach your base.

Quick Answers To Common Parrot Questions

Where do parrots spawn in Minecraft
In jungle biomes, including bamboo variants. Look both on the ground and in tree canopies.

What do parrots eat in Minecraft
Seeds for taming and healing. Never cookies.

How many seeds does taming take
It is chance based. Bring plenty. A stack is comfortable and covers multiple attempts.

Can parrots ride in boats
Yes. Push them into a boat, then drive. This is the safest transport method across long distances.

Will my parrot follow me
Yes, when set to stand. It will try to keep up and can teleport, and it may hop on your shoulder when you walk into it.

Do parrots despawn
Tamed parrots do not despawn. Untamed parrots can despawn if you leave the area, so tame quickly if you find a color you like.

Can I have two parrots at once
Yes. One on each shoulder if both are standing and you walk into them.

Extra Tips For Finding And Taming Faster

Search jungles during daytime for better visibility and safety. Climb using scaffolding or ladders to reach parrots sitting high in leaves. If a parrot is perched just out of reach, place a block beneath it to raise yourself into range rather than chasing it through the branches. Carry a jukebox and a disc for fun, but wait until you are home to party. In a jungle full of creepers, the dancing can get you distracted at the worst time.

With seeds in your pocket and a plan for the trip home, you can add a colorful parrot to your Minecraft world in a single in-game day. Treat it gently, keep cookies out of the picture, and you will have a watchful, musical companion perched at your side.
