A parrot is a monster introduced in SLASH'EM.  It can be tamed with vegan food. It is slightly better in combat than a large dog, but cannot be reared from a smaller form.  Due to what may be an oversight, it does not fly: do not displace it into water or lava!

Sounds
Parrots (as well as cockatoos) have some interesting things to say.  Chatting with them produces one of the following messages:

<monster> squaarks louldly![1]
<monster> says 'Polly want a lembas wafer!'
<monster> says 'Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!'
<monster> says 'Who's a good boy, then?'
<monster> says 'Show us yer knickers!'
<monster> says 'You'll never make it!'
<monster> whistles suggestively!
<monster> says 'What sort of a sword do you call that!'

Variants
The Pirate patch adds a parrot which flies, as a possible starting pet for the Pirate role.
