I guess you're just unlucky. I've seen people say they ran it 100+ times and haven't seen the parrots, but I found them on my third run.

I farmed the green slimes in western plague lands for 4 days non-stop until I got a oozling pet.
The moral?
Keep trying until you get it.
You'll get it sooner or later.

Hey, worse case scenario, you can just keep trying, and never find it!
But seriously, maybe have a large number of friends run it, look for it, if they see it, invite you to group and you enter their instance.

This is my fifth day straight farming without any break 9Bar you know food/sleep) on my level 44 Hunter and nada yet. I'm very very VERY bored. Worst part is my guild is Horde side so they can't help me out either and it's very slow going to plough through each time sigh.

Why don't they have a silver dragon if they meant to be rare?

My NPC Scan hasn't sent an alert for either.
I've seen the Albino one about 6 times now, out of about 50 runs or more.
Still no sign of the Brilliant, which of course, is the one that I want.

This. If you have one good friend run it at the same time as you, but in a separate instance, then you effectively double your chances of starting an instance with a rare parrot within a given hour. If you manage to get two friends to do this, then your chances are tripled. I doubt you can manage more than that without having to post a sizable reward, which always bothers me.

Tell me about it. I'm still running for the Albino and long long sailed over 120 minimum, probably a lot higher. I'll need to break out a book again at this rate.

My story is strange with these parrots--I may never want to see deadmines again.
I read about the albino parrot, and being addicted to white pets, went running down there. And, saw lots of parrots, but no albino rare. I kept running--and seeing three types of parrots plus ol'beaky. Did I notice that a few of those times the brilliant macaw was not among the flappers overhead? No, just assumed since it was there most of the runs. About 50 runs and two days later, I get my albino.
THEN, read that the brilliant macaw matches my mini-wing! SOOOO, I go back to get that one of course. And 25 runs in--it has never spawned again. I swear I think the game reads my mind and tries to drive me insane.
Did get my white wasp and the temporary spirit wolf, and the blue spirit two headed vulture. Oh, and watched an alliance tame Arc the bear just as I was landing last night. If I had just NOT fished that last fish pool I would have gotten there first....
Sigh/cry
Keep trying! The parrots are there, and nice, even if they don't do the play animation!

It's true with the parrots, I've seen multiple occasions where there was NO green parrots and other times there was NO red parrots. RNG freak outs for the win.
Come to meeee little albino, your friend the Brillant is waiting for you.
