## What it is
parrot.live is a small web service that streams an animated ASCII party parrot to any terminal via `curl parrot.live`. It serves animation frames from the terminal-parrot project over HTTP for pure terminal fun.

## Use cases
- display an animated parrot in my terminal
- fun thing to curl from the command line
- add party parrot animation to a shell demo
- entertain teammates with a terminal easter egg
- show ascii animation over curl

## When to choose
- you want a zero-install terminal animation that works anywhere curl exists
- you need a fun demo or easter egg for presentations or shell configs

## When to avoid
- you need a serious terminal tool or productivity utility
- you are offline or curl is unavailable
- you want customizable animations rather than the party parrot

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: stable
- function: cli, animation, terminal-ui
- domain: entertainment, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: party-parrot, curl, fun, ascii-art, terminal-animation, command-line, web-server
