Parrot mechanics

Right now Parrots fall off a player's shoulders way too easily and can't stay in someone's shoulders even if the player in going down 1 block, that means I can't even walk on uneven natural terrain and my parrot will just fly off.
-Parrots shouldn't fall off your shoulder unless you take damage, enter water or fall off more than 2.5 blocks.
-It would be nice to be able to right-clik your parrot, when it is mid-air, to make it perch on you.
-Parrots should not only fall slow but also glide quickly just like the phantoms to be able to follow the player faster.
These three changes alone would make exploring with your tamed parrots way easier and enjoyable.

    I absolutely agree.
    Also it would be cool flying with an elytra with your parrot beside you.

    100% agree with each one, but I think instead of just completely changing it from 0.75 of a block as max distance to 2.5 wouldn't be realistic. Giving them a "breed" parameter where they randomize a stat once they're spawned in would, in my opinion, be better. This could give a range of 0.3 -> 3.5 (minimum fall distance before damage is 4) and could be called "startleParrotDistance" as a way to say they got startled, and some mobs are easier to startle with the easiest being parrots with their startleParrotDistance set to 0.3.

    I don't know anything though because I'm not a coder, game dev, or cool kid. I'm just a dork with random ideas.
