ARK Survival Ascended Parrot Guide – How to Tame the New Shoulder Pet

The Parrot is one of the newest creatures added to ARK Survival Ascended with the Tides of Fortune DLC. Unlike traditional tames, the Parrot doesn’t require food, kibble, or tranquilizers. Instead, you’ll need to perform an emote near the Parrot to encourage it to land on your shoulder, where the taming process begins.

Once the Parrot has landed, you’ll have 3,600 seconds (1 hour) to complete the tame by taking part in treasure-hunting activities such as looting treasure and defeating Alpha creatures. It’s a unique taming mechanic that rewards exploration rather than gathering resources.

In the video guide below, I cover everything you need to know, including:

  • Where to find the Parrot.
  • How the emote taming mechanic works.
  • The fastest ways to complete the tame.
  • Every Parrot ability explained.
  • Treasure Hunt tracking and how to use it effectively.
  • Tips to make taming easier.
