Five (not 3!) new parrots, mining monkeys in Deadmines

[Wain]

Thanks Idoru

Well I still haven't seen the white one, but I did find a rare lavender (ParrotSkinLavender) one!

It's not (currently?) classed a rare, but it's certainly not a common spawn. It was with the rest of the parrots in the end cavern and is called a Brilliant Macaw.

Screenshots of the wild parrot and the tame:

I guess I should repair my gear at some point. Looks like those level 15 mobs are hard on the old mail

The white parrot is a random spawn. I got a phone call while taming it so all I remember of the name is Albino something.

.....excuse me for a second *walks out of room*
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

*walks back in*
THANK you two for finding these guys

[Zeilla8]

\o/ for more excellent finds!!!!!!!!!!!

[Teigan]

Good finds! I've loved that white and purple-blue parrot skin since I got the minipet! Now, I might have to get that one, instead of the red...oh, decisions, decisions. *tears up taming list. again*

[zedxrgal]

I cannot wait for my pick ax wielding monkey! Awesome.

Those birds are gorgeous.

[Kalliope]

.....

Seriously?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Godddd, and I had already picked out a really fitting name for the gray one! But THIS skin I've been dying for for years....I'll have to look at 'em in person to finally decide.

Thank you!!!!!

*wanders off, a hunter in bliss*

Wait... you have the Hyacinth McCaw mini pet????? I've been farming that for well over a year. From what I hear, it has a 1 in over 5,000 drop rate. I really want it to go with my Aotona, it'd be like walking around with her mini me. (It goes for about $25,000 gold on my server.) LOL Anyway, gratz on the Hyacinth.

[Victorelle]

Aotona is still my favorite Parrot and she always will be

[Razzy]

Parrots should have their own family at this point, methinks.

Nay, she meant Miniwing.

<3 Miniwing!

So anyone seen the white rare one and have screenshots of it while it's still an NPC, or at least a full name for it? So far all we have is that it's "Albino <something>". I wonder if the brown one might spawn in there too.

[Niabi]

Yippee! So many *lovelies* to choose from (credit goes to Zeilla for my new word reference)! They all look awesome and I am so happy to see that there will be plenty of skin colors to choose between, making the larger population of hunters playing WoW very happy!

I'm thinking of picking up a red and blue one for my troll huntress instead of a red and purple owl like I had originally planned. I am also very interested in the white and purple parrot (the one that looks like miniwing) but for which hunter, I am not sure of just yet.

I am starting to think this myself. ^

There are now more parrot skins avalible than 2/3's of the other pet families, not that I mind of course

[Wain]

OK, I got the white/yellow one now! The rare beastie has the charming name of "Albino Eyegouger"!

Also, for anyone who collects minipets, in the same run I confirmed that the Defias Pirates still drop the Green Wing Macaw.

[Kalliope]

Eeee! So happy with all of these parrots for some reason! I generally don't get excited about birds, but the parrots are so vividly colored, even the white/gray ones with their highlights.

I made up my mind; going with Ol' Beaky for Icarus. I really bonded with him right off, just off the screenshots. Very, very few pets have had that effect on me. I love so many of the bright parrot options, but I just don't think any of them really fits with Kalliope....maybe an alt someday!

I agree. I've already got my bird of prey picked out (I want the new golden eagle skin in cata) But I do like these parrots as well. But I wont tame two birds of prey because it just feels like a waste of stable space xP

Also, parrots are NOT birds of prey irl, so it makes no sense for them to be in the game >.>

But then people can't tame crabs and turtles to attack dragons (or, well, anything significant) in real life, either.

The problem is in the real world, "bird of prey" or raptor applies to a very specific subset of birds. But in the game, the term "bird of prey" has been appropriated to give a name to the family of ferocious attack birds that only have some overlap with the real-world group. And "raptor" was used to mean velociraptor, rather than eagles, hawks, etc. I think that the role that game parrots have been given, as aggressive dps, does fit with that family, regardless of the name.

Agreed, I really like that white parrot model, but I must say I also want a golden eagle. -shakefist at Blizzard-

[Kayb]

also agreed on the family, as anyone who saw my other post would recall ^_^

[Smyelmdar]

Yay, they saved the mining monkeys.
Also those parrots looks very nice.
