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!
Here Breeders will be able bring on the next generation of Parrapups! Parrapups have a breeding season in the wild of only during the summer and spring, but domesticated Parras breed all year round!

By the time that your babies are ready to be taken home most of them have taken on the characteristics of the star sign they were born to follow:♫ Extremely calm babies eat a lot and tend to be kind of whiny, but they grow up to be the strongest and calmest. (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn)
♪ Playful babies are the one's to grow up to be very social and outgoing! (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)
♫ The easily irritated tend to nip when they are, and they usually only have good relationships with their families. (Cancers, Scorpios, and Pisces)
♪ Curious babies are easy to lose, but grow up the smartest! (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius)
(Note: Your babies do not have to be born under the month of the zodiac they follow. If your baby is born in December, they can still act as a Taurus. This will be explained more later on in time)
Nursery Rules
- - Triplets are extremely rare and there shouldn't be many of them to naturally happen.
- Each nest has at least two hatchlings.
- Between the mates, the owner(s) can only take home one (each). Siblings with the same parent tend to quarrel when living with each other. This means if you own parent one and you breed with parent two, you can take home one sibling. If you breed these parents again after they are ready to breed again, you cannot take home a sibling. If your parrapup changes it's mate, you can't take home one more sibling.
- You can only take a max of two nursery babies for now.
- Parrapup hatchlings grow to adolescents in a month and adults in another month.
- Owners choose between keeping a baby, gifting, or adopting out.
- You cannot sell the babies.
- You can own both parents, but that means you must gift or adopt out the one (two) you are not keeping.
- There is a two week cool down (After babies have settled in or found new homes)
- The only parent to go on cooldown is the conceiving parent as they take care of babies.
Notes
- - Midgets can breed with other midgets but not full sized parras
- Parras have a small chance of having midget babies, and midgets have a chance to have full sized parra babies.
Mutations
Mutations do happen in Parrapup babies, but they can be very uncommon. Most of the time it is just a strange color that neither of the parents originally had, or possibly a different beak or tail. (If breeders/artists want to make a more drastic edit, they must ask me first.)

Attention to my Breeders
It is required that each parrapup has a song. If they don't include it, they should probably get that information otherwise the ticket cannot be accepted. It's a fill out the whole form deal. If they don't link to the parrapups breeding, the ticket cannot be accepted because parrapups are allowed to have names that match. And finally the biggest issue I've had:
Each person can only have 2 parrapups from the nursery. These parrapups cannot be related. So if their parra has a child, that is the only one they can keep. I am very tempted to stop gifting since right now, no one has an up to date archive, but the people receiving parras aren't taking responsibility for how many parras they can have from the nursery. SECONDLY: Adopters must have the main thread marked! just because it's a nursery parra, doesn't mean that it doesn't follow the same rules as the adults.
Thank you for reading all of this, and I will be watching more carefully. If I see anymore hugely edited orphans, excessive use of heterochromia, or any issues above, I will be having a word with you, and/or removing you off the nursery.
