Parrapups, or Parras, are an omnivorous, aviary quadrupedal species that originated from tropical areas, but after they were domesticated, they gained more levels of fur and different beaks. All parras spend a lot of time cleaning themselves, and preening their feathers if they have wings. Parras come with a variety of tails and beaks, but good luck finding one that does! Having a large gene pool Parras also have the chance to show some mutations. They come in a large variety of colors including bright neons and dull greys. All parras are a very social in some way and love to whistle, sing, and chatter to others- Parra or not!

♫ Information ♫

First off, these lovely new lines were done by Pachoo.

(Standard) Parrapup's Sizes

Adults - 3.5 - 4 ft
Adolescents - 2-3 ft
Fledglings - 1 ft
Tails - Close to Body Length (Chest to Rump)
♪ Parras weigh from 50 to 80 lb due to their lighter bones, and are quite easy to pick up!
♫ All of them are social in some way, otherwise they can develop a form of schizophrenia
♪ They mostly enjoy singing and just chattering with others and every parra has a song
♫ Some parras are known to stay miniature and the size of Fledglings, but they can't breed unless with other miniatures. (These can be called Dwarf Parrapups or Midgets)
♪ Although some people are particular with having parras with hetero-colored eyes, these parras have worse vision than regular ones and usually are unsafe to fly.
♫ Parras hatch from large eggs (Approximately 7-8 Inches tall) that are shades from off-white to browns. Pastel like colors may also show up, but aren't common for the standard.
♪ You could say Parras are expert beat-boxers because they can use both of their sets of vocal cords at the same time! Letting them sing and mimic songs! They can sing the sound and imitate the lyrics at the same time!
♫ Sexuality of Parras is closely related to humans! They have learned quite a lot by watching humans! I.E. they can be heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual, omnisexual, pansexual, asexual, and etc!
♪ Parras have very strong throat muscles that can allow them to contract and expand them as they please! It's also why the fledglings never quiet down since they are exercising them. They can mimic effects of 'b' 'p' 'm' and 's' even though they don't have lips or teeth!
♫ Manes can be grown out, but never past their chests if they have wings, and if hair is grown out past their chests, owners are required to have it put up or braided to avoid harm to the parra. Manes can also be removed over time if they have their manes plucked. After being plucked, their natural fur just grows over it. To get their manes to grow back, they have to use special shampoo.

♪ Diet ♪

Parrapups have a mixed diet, and they can practically eat whatever they want! Just make sure to avoid Avocados, chocolate, onions, garlic, and celery.

♫ Lifespans ♫

Although Parrapups in the wild pass on after around 20 years, domesticated Parrapups have always been recorded to pass away whenever their caretaker does. Most people believe it is because they are so connected and are influenced by them. When their owner passes away, they just lay down and fall asleep with them, and then they don't wake back up. It is traditional for most to buried together.[/center]

Parrapups are the proud founding species to practice "No Forms Left Behind."

What is "No Forms Left Behind?"

No Form Left Behind (NFLB) leaves it open during or at the end of contests to get feedback upon your form. (Due to watching a few complaints, I think I have worked out the bugs)

Is this for every contest?

Not quite! Some contests are simple, like "Post a funny gif!" and these are just based off of simply picking. This only applies to contests with multiple entries that do amazingly and impress me contest. If a mod or judge believes that the contest qualifies and gets Beatnik's approval, then it will be put into the "No Form Left Behind" status.


You Do Not Have To Get Feedback On Your Form
