Realistic Bird Behavior
Realistic Bird Behavior changes how parrots breed, so two parrots fed parrot food can produce a baby that later grows into an adult.
What it does
Parrots become breedable, and the breeding AI is more proactive than vanilla. A player has to make the parrots sit and nudge them closer together before they start breeding. Two fed parrots approach each other on their own and slowly produce a baby parrot, which then perches on the player's shoulder and gradually grows into an adult. The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 with an MIT License and is open source. Players and the server both need it, since the environment is client and server.
Key features
Breedable parrots
Parrots can be bred with parrot food, as other vanilla animals are, when fed next to each other.
Proactive breeding AI
Fed parrots move toward one another and produce a baby without the player steering them to each other.
Shoulder-perched babies
Baby parrots perch on the player's shoulder and grow into adults over time.

What the author says
This mod improves parrot behavior and makes parrots breedable. Just like other vanilla animals, feeding two parrots with “parrot food” will make them slowly approach each other and eventually produce a baby parrot.
