Umm...I don't know what a parroit is so I'm going to assume that you mean parrot. An interesting fact abotu a parrot is that they are one of the smartest creatures alive. ONce a parrot was taught how to add numbers, and no, not just memorize answers, but actually add! There is also this one case in the news where a babysitter was watching a baby for some hours, and then she left the baby alone for a little while, but the parrot was in the room with the baby. The baby started choking with only the parrot watching. So the parrot started freaking out saying "baby" "baby" "baby" (somehting along the lines of that) and the parrot flew into the other room with the baby sitter and it kept ssquaking "baby". So the babysitter went to look at the baby and the baby was choking and the babysitter stopped the baby from choking. Thus the parrot saved the babys life.
