MCPE-26724Parrots destroy planted crops
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.

What existing mob did parrots replace? Is the original, pre-existing mob a crop eater? New, cute mobs need to be new, and with behaviors somewhat true to nature. For example, do parrots usually eat crops? Is that reasonable? Or do parts not usually eat crops, but the crop-eating is the behavior of the original mob???
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.
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.
