Minecraft is known for its wide array of blocks and monsters that players will undoubtedly encounter around the server. But, some of the friendly animals within the game like Parrots can be tamed so that you have a companion along your adventures.

Where to find Parrots in Minecraft

Before we dive into the process of how to tame Parrots in Minecraft, it’s best to know what biomes players will be able to find these lovely animals in. As if you don’t know, not all animals will spawn in the same location, and there’s multiple biomes around a Minecraft server for players to explore.

One of the caveats in regards to Parrots is that they’re extremely rare to find across the Minecraft map, so much so, that you’ll probably need to spawn into multiple servers until you find one.
