I'm looking at resurrecting an old campaign for a couple of friends and one of them has a pet parrot. The PC in question is level 7 (HARP) and has high bonuses in both Animal Handing and Beastmastery, but I never really included the parrot in the game. Part of the time I just forgot about the bird but I also didn't really know what to do with it. The player would occasionally bring it up..."can he do this?"...etc., but I feel like I short-changed him.
So, do any of you out there have any words of wisdom?
