Method 4 of 4: taming parrot

1. 

   Collect at least five seeds. You can collect seeds by harvesting the tufts of grass, but you will most likely need to harvest multiple tufts of grass to obtain a set of seeds. After you have about five seeds, you can move on.

   Hold the seeds. Make sure the seed is in your hand before continuing.

   Approach your parrot. If the parrot flies away before you get close to them, just chase it — the parrots can't fly too far and they aren't too fast either.
