It&#8217;s an escape room-style first-person horror game based on the popular Party Parrot meme.

Their appearance isn\u2019t particularly scary, but the sheer speed of them coming at you from behind strangely incites a sense of fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why are the parrots illuminating in rainbow colors? Well, that\u2019s because they originate from the Party Parrot meme, in which an animated parrot joyfully bobs their head while glowing in rainbow colors. According to the meme database <a href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/party-parrot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Know Your Meme<\/a>, the Party Parrot meme originated from a YouTube video published by the BBC in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the video, zoologist Mark Carwardine is being&#8230; ahem, vigorously humped by a rare kakapo parrot named Sirocco. Although there are some hard-to-watch scenes, the video elicits laughter, and has gained popularity over time with more than 22 million views at the time of this writing. Sirocco the parrot was later appointed as a conservation ambassador in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shagged by a rare parrot | Last Chance To See - BBC\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9T1vfsHYiKY?start=48&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A website called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/cultofthepartyparrot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cult of the Party Parrot<\/a>\u201d was established in 2016 and began providing various Party Parrot emoji for the communication app Slack. The site also has a link to a donation page for K\u0101k\u0101p\u014d Recovery. \u201cDonate To Keep Them Partying,\u201d states the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Party Parrot spread to places like Reddit and Twitter, and became a worldwide meme. It eventually found its way to Japan, but is used in a different way. In Japan, it was popularized as a meme after a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FUCKDESUNE\/status\/1248815824946651137\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">short clip<\/a> of the Party Parrots reacting fanatically to lewd words went viral. Since then, this concept has been expanded and used by others. Much of the meme content features the Party Parrots speaking Japanese in English intonation. And the parrots that appear in <em>Monster Parrots<\/em> seem to be this Japanese variant of the Party Parrots.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112-182293-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112-182293-001.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112-182293-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112-182293-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112-182293-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112-182293-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112-182293-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112-182293-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112-182293-001-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Monster Parrots <\/em>was developed by Nya Nya Nya, a content creation team in Japan. According to their official website, the members are all students and have no prior experience in game development. They are self-taught and the game is indeed rough around the edges. It has some awkward functions like, having to press the ESC key to bring up the mouse cursor after starting the game, but that doesn\u2019t mean the game is unplayable, though. It works fine as a horror game. I recommend checking the manual on the official website and the readme document beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download <em>Monster Parrots<\/em> from Nya Nya Nya\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ninyanyannyannyan.wixsite.com\/02022\/post\/2000%E5%86%86%E5%86%85%E3%81%A7%E8%B2%B7%E3%81%88%E3%82%8B%E7%94%9F%E6%B4%BB%E3%81%AB%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84%E3%81%A8%E5%9B%B0%E3%82%8B%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4%E3%83%86%E3%83%A0%EF%BC%95%E9%81%B8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official website<\/a>.
