Ex-ex-parrot


 * ''Did you mean Ex-parrot, the dead rotten parrot?

An Ex-ex-parrot is a pet that players have access to after completing the Rocking Out quest. Level 71 Summoning is required to bring an Ex-parrot back to life.

Ex-ex-parrot does not need food like normal pets, but does require rock fragments to remain undead. These can be made by using a chisel on the slab to the West of the cave entrance on Mos Le'Harmless. Alternatively, you can put the parrot back into the magical cage and use the Ex-ex-parrot in a cage on the rock slab to feed it. This is not recommended because you will have to periodically travel back to Mos Le'Harmless to feed it. It has no growth stages, so will require feeding occasionally for as long as it is following you outside of your inventory.

Unlike other pets, players can understand what it says without 10 higher summoning than required summoning it.
