Best Answer

Parlay is, according to the Code of the Brethern, set down by the pirates Morgan and Bartholomew, part of the pirate's code that allows a captured party the right to be taken to a ship's captain unharmed.

If a pirate is captured by an enemy, he has the right to declare parlay, or temporary protection, until he may have an audience with the enemy captain. The term "parlay" likely comes from the French verb, "to speak" ie parler. Parlez means to speak to someone. In this case, that someone is the Captain.

At this point, he cannot be harmed. Parlay's not considered concluded until said captives and captains have completed negotiations. More specifically, until negotiations have ended - or until "negotiations have broken off".

Who is the owner of the parrot in parrot port on Skullduggery Island?

The owner is the pirate on top of the stone tower by the dock. Get the cracker from inside Petey's Pirate Pub (upper left side). Once you have done what the parrot says, the pirate says it is his parrot. Use the cracker there to bring the parrot to him, and click on the pirate to get the map piece.
