Prody Parrot is a desktop assistant computer program made for the Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME) and Windows NT series of operating systems. It was created by MindMaker in 1999,[1] and acted to help computer users in business environments, whilst still having the facilities to engage and entertain users at home PCs.

Behaviour

Prody, the software's titular Parrot, will fly around the screen and offer help where necessary. When he isn't needed, he will either 'perch' on the user's taskbar or on the top of one of the user's windows. The user can engage with Prody through a variety of different methods. Prody was designed to incorporate business functions as well, such as searching the stock market. Bundled with the software is a version of Creative Labs' Dr. Sbaitso program, integrated into the Prody Parrot software.
