What does PARROT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A brightly colored tropical bird with a strong hooked beak, known for its ability to mimic human speech and other sounds.
Parrots range from tiny budgerigars to large macaws, and many species share a strong curved beak used for cracking nuts and seeds along with a clever, social intelligence that makes them popular pets. Their skill at copying sounds gave rise to the verb to parrot, meaning to repeat someone's words without understanding or thinking about them, as when a student parrots a textbook definition on a test. Wild parrots often live in flocks and can be very long-lived, with some large species surviving over sixty years in captivity.
