Parrot Cracker

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, if he is spoken to in an Ocean biome.

Trivia

 * 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.
 * However, as of 1.3.5.2, the Parrot enemy has been resprited, whereas the pet hasn’t.
 * The tooltip of the pet buff reads "". It is a reference to the phrase "Polly want a cracker", which is said to have its origin in the adventure novel  by Scottish author, published 1883, or the popular slogan for the original saltine cracker by the American cookie and snack manufacturer (1876). However, the phrase can be verified to have been in use even before those dates.
 * "Wants" contains an errant apostrophe.
