Traditional reading

The parrot, which mimics speech, symbolizes news and the power of words. A parrot saying something nice was seen as happy news arriving, while a parrot repeating your words back meant be careful, since what you say could spread elsewhere.

Through the heart

The parrot can also reflect you repeating words you don't mean or going along with others' opinions. It may be asking whether you're speaking in your own voice.

    It's a worry that feelings you've worked hard to hide will be found out.

  3. Dream of a bird talking like a personLucky dream

    A bird speaking like a person is a message from your unconscious, so important hints hide in what you heard. If the bird's words were a question, find the answer yourself; if a name or place, the clue lies there.

    Your intuition is at its sharpest.
