About Pirate Parrots

Frequently seen perched atop the shoulder of a pirate captain, crew member, or other seafarer, a pirate parrot was more than just an accessory. During the 1700s, when pirates frequently hijacked trade vessels, exotic birds such as parrots were high-demand pets due to their beautiful plumage and uncanny ability to be trained to speak and do other tricks. While these birds were usually pets for the upper class, pirates would pick up these pets from trade vessels and train the birds themselves while procuring a pet that gave them an air of status, as well as companionship on their ocean travels.

Dressing up as a Pirate Parrot

Pirate parrot-themed accessories are great for adding some extra "HAARGH!!" A variety of sizes of stuffed toy parrots adorned with feathers are available, perfect for perching on your shoulder. Another accessory is the Parrot bracelet which clamps over your wrist with an attached toy parrot, looking as if he's just hanging out with his pirate matey!
