When you are being followed by a parrot, (and you cannot make them sit for very long) the parrots will constantly fly around and destroy your planted crops. This is because their "impact" on the ground is significant enough to destroy crops. I understand a game like Minecraft cannot be realistic in all things, but the landing of a lightweight bird is not like dropping an anvil, and would not cause such impact. It's also VERY disruptive to gardens.

Confirmed on Minecraft bedrock edition 1.2.2.3, iOS 10.3.3, iPad Pro. I'll tame a new parrot add and test with 1.2.3 and report back, but I doubt it has been fixed.
According to the wiki, in the Java Edition, mobs smaller than 0.512 cubic block cannot destroy farmland.
This includes:
parrots
rabbits
chickens
bats (possibly n/a)
ocelots
wolves
cave spiders
endermites
silverfish
baby mobs
small slimes
small magma cubes
Annette - it's not that they are eating them, but when they land (from flying, which they do constantly) they make a huge THUD, and the tremendous weight of their mammoth like body destroys the crop as well as the tilled ground underneath them. I am not sure that there is a mechanic for non-thuds, but if there is not there needs to be. Birds just do not make earthquakes as they land...with the possible exception of an Ostrich. Their touch-downs are ... dare I say? Feather light. 🙂
