Sure, me and The Pirate are pals, but I hate it when his parrot does his business on me. That stuff's corrosive!

This article is about the pet. For the enemy that spawns during the Pirate Invasion, see Parrot.

The Parrot Cracker is a Pet summoning item. It summons a pet Parrot which follows the player around. If the player stays still for long enough, it will perch on a nearby solid block, staying still until the player moves away from it. It can be purchased from the Pirate for 3 75 , if he is living in an Ocean biome.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

When the Parrot pet is summoned, the tooltip reads, "Polly want's the cracker". "Wants" is misspelled, containing an errant apostrophe.
The Parrot Cracker is the second most expensive item to buy, more expensive than the Clentaminator and Autohammer, but is surpassed by the Companion Cube.
The pet Parrot looks exactly the same as the Parrot enemy, which can potentially cause confusion between idle parrots during a Pirate Invasion.
The phrase "Polly want's the cracker" is a reference to when Nabisco originally released the saltine cracker in 1876. Their slogan for this new type of cracker was “Polly wants a cracker?”.
