Based on breed of normal bird and acts as home to 2d6 birds. If threatened or birds chirp angrily will produce one extra bird per round. A living pulsing dripping chaos tree with organic structures and orifices that house and spawn monster chaos birds. If bird population reaches more than 12 without a fight the flock split and half travel away to plant a seed for new colony. Mostly with smaller breeds like stirges or humming birds.

The parrots are cruel and evil, enjoy taunting and teasing but they also can copy wizard spells cast in their presence. If wizard spells used in presence each parrot can copy one level of spell. If spell is higher level the parrots work together each parrot providing a power level. So three parrots could together copy a third level spell like a fireball. Spells mimicked are forgotten 24 hours later

Spit Bird
