Summary:
If a parrot tamed by another player sits on your shoulder, it makes arrows unusable. Arrow either shoots backward or glitches around the player’s head (eventually hitting the player themself in survival).
Steps to Reproduce:
Join/create a multiplayer game;
Spawn/find a parrot and ask another player to tame it and leave the parrot in stand up position;
Walk to the parrot to make it sit on your shoulder;
Shoot an arrow with a bow or crossbow (affects both).
Observed Results:
The arrow shoots backward relative to the player or gets stuck behind the player’s head making continuous bouncing noises until the player moves. In survival, it hits the player eventually.
Expected Results:
Arrow shoots forward hitting the desired target.
Notes:
This bug affects only a player with a parrot tamed by another player sitting on their shoulder in the multiplayer/LAN game. This does NOT apply to parrots tamed by the player themselves. But if a player has at least 1 parrot on their shoulder belonging to someone else (no matter on which shoulder or both), they will experience this bug.
*Also affects throwing snowballs and splash potions!

The same bug described in MCPE-81552 that has been resolved due to being "awaiting response"/incomplete.
Using a crossbow or bow, arrows do not work farther than 4 blocks away.
If targeting more than 4 blocks away, arrows do not fire and a repeated arrow sound (like a machine gun) is played until user moves away from initial block to a new block. Many arrows are left in the ground at that initial block when using bow. One arrow is left in ground when using crossbow.
When viewed from 3rd person rear, the arrows seem to begin at the back of the neck and slowly rise upward to about a block above head level making a repeated sound until user moves, then the arrow falls and sticks to the ground.
Eggs thrown do not travel to target; they break open at point of throw no matter what the target distance is. When viewed from 3rd person the baby ducks seem to appear in the neck or head of the user.
I now see that I have a parrot on my shoulder which is the cause!
I went swimming to get the parrot off me and now the bows work fine.
The eggs work fine too.
I just killed the parrot so i can use my bows.
Thanks!
