Parrot

Avian and Riaviani

A parrot with a cutlass in her hand is nothing to squawk at!

— Brother Genitivi, In Pursuit of Knowledge

Parrots are often the most striking members of any group they’re part of. They wear plumage of brilliant colors and have the tenacity of true explorers. As a race, they are relatively widespread around the world and have a reputation for being prodigious travelers; as a result, they can be found almost anywhere.
Perhaps as a result of their avian biology, parrots are frequently found of the air. To feel the wind in their wings at the helm of a speeding airship is the dream of many a young parrot. This inclination and skill for helming and navigation means parrots commonly rise to the role of captain within the ship crews that they join.
Their brightly colored feathers do tend to make parrots stand out almost everywhere. Captain Celaeno and her crew have become a more familiar sight in and around Feralden since the Friendship Festival, so other parrots may at least be recognized. In the northern lands, parrots are one of the common races to be seen, though they are less concentrated in Kirkwall than others.
In an adventuring party, much like a ship’s crew, a parrot will often naturally fall into the role of pilot and/or navigator. They keep their friends on course, ensuring that nopony gets lost while traversing the wilds. The flashiness of their feathers sometimes also reflected in their playful, dynamic personalities. Whether engaging a foe in a sword duel while balancing on the crossbeam of a ship’s mast, or flipping through the air and landing perfectly with a bow—the panache of a parrot makes them a valuable asset to a party and a great friend to anypony.
