Educate Your Parrots
by ItsSanmar
Educate Your Parrots lets players teach a parrot sounds it hears, so the bird can repeat them later during play.
What it does
Parrots in this mod remember the sounds they hear and can replay them at random moments while the player is playing. The player asks the parrot to repeat a recorded sound on demand, and the recording happens without any extra setup. Because the behavior is tied to the parrot itself, the bird keeps what it learned as long as it stays in the world.
The mod is a Fabric addition for Minecraft 1.21, so it fits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers alike. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are both public.
Installation needs Fabric API version 0.100.1+1.21 or higher. Files are published for 1.21 only, and the latest Fabric build is 1.1-patch.1, released on 2026-06-29. The first release came out on 2026-06-28.
Key features
Sound memory
A parrot records the sounds it hears in the world and keeps them for later replay.
Random replay
Learned sounds come back at random moments during gameplay, so the parrot chatters without being prompted.
On-demand repeat
The player can ask a parrot to repeat a sound it has learned, instead of waiting for a random moment.
Source code available
The full source code is published, so anyone can read how the sound memory is implemented.
