'''Parrot Egg''' is a [[Trinkets|trinket]] item dropped by slain [[monsters]].
   −
Equipping the parrot egg in the trinket slot causes a parrot to spawn and follow the player around. While in combat it occasionally finds gold coins when slaying monsters. The egg can be reforged using an [[Anvil]], changing the level of parrot from 1 to 4. The chance of enemies dropping gold coins ranges from low chance at level 1 to very high chance at level 4. The gold coins come in multiples of {{price|250}} and multiple coins can drop from a single enemy.

Equipping the parrot egg in the trinket slot causes a parrot to spawn and follow the player around. While in combat it occasionally finds gold coins when slaying monsters. The egg can be reforged using an [[Anvil]], changing the level of parrot from 1 to 4, with a limit depending on your total earnings. Each possible level is equally likely.<ref name="parrotLevelChance"/>

Note that the maximum level of the parrot egg depends on total earnings:

The chance of an enemy dropping a gold coin is 10% per level, for a maximum chance of 40% with a level 4 parrot, regardless of [[Luck]] or enemy type or location<ref name="coinDropChance"/> Each gold coin is worth {{price|250}}, and for each gold coin an enemy drops, it has another chance to drop a gold coin.
* Level 1 for total earnings under {{price|750000}}.
+
 
* Level 2 for total earnings of at least {{price|750000}} and under {{price|1500000}}.

These values are summarized in the following table:
* Level 3 for total earnings of at least {{price|1500000}} and under {{price|2250000}}.
+
 
* Level 4 for total earnings of at least {{price|2250000}}.

* If the player's total earnings are under {{Price|750000}}, they can only get a level 1 parrot and thus the game will not reforge the parrot egg with the Anvil. However, attempting to do so will still consume 3 [[Iridium Bar]]s.
