The parrot people usually mean is the eclectus parrot. Its feathers can look unusually smooth and hair-like because they’re less dusty than many other parrots.

Why this answer fits

  • A popular post describing a “smooth-feathered” parrot identifies it as an eclectus parrot.
  • Eclectus parrots are known for their glossy, neat plumage compared with many other parrot species.

Quick note

  • There isn’t one single official “parrot with very smooth fur” name, since parrots have feathers, not fur.
  • If you meant a different bird, the most likely alternate guess is a bald parrot or another sleek-looking species, but the common answer is eclectus parrot.
