Did you know that you can carry parrots on your should in Minecraft? Even though this feature is small, it still makes someones day better, and can play the game for days! But have you ever wondered how to get a parrot off your shoulder in Minecraft? Well show you how!
How to get a parrot on your shoulder in Minecraft
This is simple enough. When you approach a tamed parrot, it will naturally perch on your shoulder. This is repeatable infinitely. So, if you inadvertently knock the parrot off, just walk into it again.
Up to two parrots may be carried by players at once on their shoulders. To do this, just move into the second parrot while the first is perched on your shoulder. Fun fact: When viewed in third person, the parrot on your shoulder always faces the same direction as the player. It also appears on your shoulder when you’re on the inventory page.
How to get a parrot off your shoulder in Minecraft
Again, this is simple enough. Falling is the most effective and efficient way to loose a parrot from your shoulder. This is a comprehensive list of methods, ranked from easiest to hardest, for getting a parrot off of you.
- Getting into bed Approach any bed and take a seat. The bird should fly off of you.
- Jumping Jumping is the fastest way to accomplish it. But you have to jump down in elevation from one block to the next. A standard jump isnt enough to dislodge a parrot.
- Enter the water and swim. This will drive the parrot away. The act of drowning also works.
- Taking damage By this, we mean suffering harm from anything other than falling, such as from gangs or fire.
- Falling down Any steep drop will do the trick. The bird will become dislodged by falling, flying downward with elytra, or any significant impact. Even firework rockets work.
- Immersion in lava not only releases a parrot from you, but it also sets it ablaze. We obviously dont recommend this method.
- Player death rate = 20%E2%80%94%20Death will cause the bird to take off 10% of the time.
Thats about it, really. Theres nothing difficult about it. A minor point of clarification. A parrot was knocked down by damage, and we say that falling damage is not considered. The parrot will leave your shoulder long before you sustain any damage if you’re falling far enough to be hurt.
Method 4: Sleeping
A parrot will also climb off your shoulder if you sleep on a bed. Keep in mind that this approach can only be used at night, when there are no surrounding mobs and no thunderstorms.
