Parrot Author aufdemrand Version 0.3 Citizens build 2.0 Development status InDev Download Link BukkitDev [ Link] Source [{{{SOURCELINK}}} Link] Issues [{{{ISSUESLINK}}} Link] Description: A parrot (chicken) NPC that can be used for fun or for clues. Installing Character Types

Parrots can be just for fun, or be used with questing to hold clues, and are meant to be used on Chicken NPCs, though could technically be any kind. Enderdragon parrots, anybody? (Joking! Probably not a good idea!)

Parrots randomly store messages said in the local area and repeat them back. Parrots can also be fed a clue, information that it keeps and blurts out with the normal chatter it has heard.

Parrots work best with chickens.
