Parrot
Shoulder Pet
The Parrot never eats from your hand. Use an emote such as Wave near a wild Parrot and it lands on your shoulder. From that moment you have roughly one hour to earn its trust: dig up three to four buried treasures, kill several Alpha creatures, or clear a pirate lighthouse event and collect the treasure it leaves behind. If the timer runs out, the Parrot flies off and you start over.
