parrot.live is a terminal utility that displays an animated party parrot in any terminal with curl.
The project solves the problem of bringing festive, animated ASCII art to command-line environments. It works by hosting pre-rendered animation frames that can be streamed directly to a terminal via curl, eliminating the need for local installation or dependencies. Users simply run a curl command to fetch and display the animated parrot in real time.
The tool is suited for developers who want to add a playful element to their terminal sessions or scripts. It requires nothing more than curl and a terminal that supports ANSI escape sequences, making it accessible across virtually any development environment. The project builds on animation frames from an existing terminal-parrot project, repackaging them as a web-accessible service rather than a standalone application.
The project maintains a minimal, focused scope with straightforward implementation. Development activity centers on a single core feature—streaming the parrot animation—without scope creep into additional functionality or configuration options.
