Generally, no. Parrots live in warm areas, from bushland to deserts to grasslands and tropical and temperate rainforests. Temperatures in these areas may vary considerably, but winters are not so cold that parrots need to migrate. It also depends on the intended meaning of the word "migrate". Parrots do not migrate the way many northern hemisphere birds do, that is, flying vast distances (even across the oceans) to warmer climates during the winter.

Parrots engage in semi-migratory behaviour, moving to new areas within their continent when the monsoonal rains replenish water sources. They go to where the best food source is.

However, Australia is home to the world's only two migratory parrots: the Swift parrot and the Orange-bellied parrot, which migrate during winter from the cold state of Tasmania to the Australian mainland.
