How to Get Parrot On & Off your Shoulder in Minecraft

If you have a tamed Parrot, you will have the ability to let your Parrot perch on your shoulder. This can happen in two ways. The first one is by walking into your Parrot and the second one is the Parrot, on its own, will fly to the player on perch on his/ her shoulder. Also the second will not happen if the Parrot is sitting down. Parrots prefer to sit on the left shoulder of the player if it is not occupied. If it is then it will sit on the right shoulder.
