Floating Combat Text of awesomeness.
Displays Events from the combatlog (damage, healing, ...) as moving text and numbers across the Screen. It also supports various other Events (Loot, Cooldowns, ...). Further Parrot offers a Trigger-system to display Text and play sounds on certain predefined events (e.g. Nightfall for Warlocks).

FAQ
Q: "Parrot is not showing heals, but it's enabled in the options"
A: Since 3.2 WoW displays every full overheal in the combatlog (even for HoTs). That's why Parrot v1.9.0+ contains an option in Events to "Hide full overheals" which is enabled by default to avoid unnecessary spam.
Q: ''I want to use custom fonts and sounds in Parrot, but there are none available'
A: Parrot doesn't provide sounds or additional fonts (only the fonts included in WoW)
For additional fonts and sounds please install SharedMedia.
To use custom sounds and fonts see the "INSTRUCTIONS for MyMedia.txt" in the SharedMedia-folder.
Q: "Whenever I /reload or log back in again, parrot auto-hides blizzard's default outgoing damage text (the one above the mob in question). Is there any way to avoid having to enable blizz's functions all the time?
A: When enabled Parrot manages the settings for Blizzard FCTs damage- and heal-display. You can enable these features to be used with Parrot in the config (General->Game damage/healing)
Q: "Sometimes when Looting stackable items, the stackcount is off. Why isn't this fixed?"
A: The problem is, that the Interface-event for the Loot is sometimes triggered before, and sometimes after the item was put in the bag (depending on lag). If anyone knows a solution that does not involve constantly polling the bags' content, I'm open to suggestions.

Keldara2 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:03:12My Parrot seems to have forgotten how to show full direct overheals, it shows partial overheals, but not full ones. (It worked before I fiddled around with settings. Sadly, I can't remember what I actually changed.) This goes for the bloom of lifebloom as well, it used to show the full overheal, but now it shows nothing. :|
Also, is there any possibility of being able to choose if one wants the text (Multiple) show up or not when throttling events. In BGs it's a pain with my setup:
'+2121 [Wild Growth] (1234 OH) (Multiple) (3 hits) [Character-Defias Brotherhood]'
Actually, the possibility to change the order of all these things would be great. I know, I know, I can switch places between [Amount] [Skill] [Name] - even so, leaves me unable to decide where the OH amount shows and where and IF '(multiple)' shows up. It's a bit overkill to show both multiple and # hits.. seeing as they indicate the same thing, only the latter is more detailed.
Sorry for rant, but it's such an awesome addon, it's almost surprising there's no option for it.

Necrilia Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:57:45When will Parrot be able to display DoT crits? As an Affliction raider I only rely on Recount to see my DoT crits and only after the battle... Same goes for my shadow priest though I don't raid with him.

Ehland Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:08:34Is there some documentation somewhere on the suppression system. I'm getting a lot of messages on my dk about the different presences being ready and other like messages that I'd rather filter out.
I played a bit with it but can't seem to make it work.

quetzalito Thu, 23 Apr 2009 17:03:05Is anyone else having problems with Parrot disabling Blizzard scrolling combat text?, i like to use Parrot to show my incoming damage/healing (and outgoing healing) but for my outgoing damage i prefer the Blizzard scrolling combat text (basically because of the numbers on the top of the mob im killing) but its being disabled everytime i log-in so i have to re enable it again :<
