Believe it or not, I got 3 parrots in the same battle just a short time ago.
As I said before, I've never pulled a rare color!
Thanks to a little field trip the other day... I saw all the rare colors alive and well. Including an event parrot that was more rainbow color. Shame they dont spawn normally!
Amazing how some things have far better artwork before they get color… but thats just part of the system.
I have one of these parrots from the first few weeks of spawning. Thats the cool thing about them showing age. (So to speak). Without getting obnoxious with putting down DOZENS upon DOZENS of them… I believe, they show a small level of friendliness to passer's by... along with perhaps marking your area as being open to the public/welcoming. For me, having 6 houses in the same clearing… a name many know for the shop... I can put a few parrots on the edges that will never cost a coin or wonder away that will flag some attention. We dont need corner to corner vendors. Not like we can post a few NPCs around the outlines like guards. hehe. "Red & Purple Pixies Guard". THAT would be funny! Never see it happening.
