What Does It Mean?
The parrot (Shuka) is sacred in several Hindu contexts, Shuka Muni narrated the Bhagavata Purana to King Parikshit. The parrot is also the vahana of Kamadeva and a companion of Goddess Meenakshi of Madurai. In Shakun Shastra, the parrot's speaking is associated with Mercury's quick, communicative energy.
A parrot speaking clearly and pleasantly signals good communication coming, a positive message, favorable news from a distance, or a conversation that will go well. If the parrot speaks your name or seems to address you, the sign is especially strong.
The direction of the parrot matters: a parrot speaking to your right side amplifies the auspicious effect. A parrot speaking from your left is neutral. A parrot that flies toward you while speaking signals an important message is literally on its way to you.
