Improve parrots

The parrot was a big letdown, as we all know so here's a few suggestions I like to give out:

1: when on your shoulders, they don't jump off when you jump

2: also, it should warn the player of nearby mobs and their positions relative to the player, I.e. When a zombie is behind you, the parrot squaks psychopathicaly

3: wild parrots should fly more often and in flocks, to add the aesthetic feel to it

    I agree, also, the parrot should only mimic a mob when it's visible by the player/parrot. I'm getting tired of my parrot squawking at me when the zombie is just underground and i'm above ground. AND PLEASE MAKE IT SO THE PARROT DOESN'T HOP OFF YOUR SHOULDER WHEN YOU JUMP. Make it like a Shift+Right click hotkey or something.

    Yeah, it'd be really nice to be able to move around without your Parrot jumping off your shoulder all the time.

    There should at least be an option for a hotkey, or having shift - jump or something kicking them off. And I think it's also fair to have them jump off when you get damaged, and maybe if you fall a certain distance or something.

    I would also like it if you could heal parrots with seeds because I have lost parrots for far too long and I don't want to head to another jungle to replace them. I would also like parrots to avoid landing on hazards.

    1. They shouldn't just fall off when you fall two blocks. When they're on your shoulders, you should have to click a button to get them off.
    2. Healing them would be a wonderful feature. They die so easily and it's heartbreaking when you've done so much work to find them and they die on the way home.
    3. Being able to breed them, like you do any other passive mob, would not only make sense but make the game more... Fun? Baby parrots would be awesome.
    4. More variety in colors? If not in parrots, maybe add other bird types.

    Needs changing definately. Maybe with the introduction of Toocans.
