## What it is
A Go-based terminal application that displays an animated party parrot in your terminal, with configurable loop count, frame delay, and orientation. It supports adding custom text-based animations without recompiling.

## Use cases
- show a party parrot animation in my terminal
- add fun ASCII animations to my shell
- celebrate a successful deploy with a terminal animation
- create custom terminal animations from text frames
- entertain teammates during screen shares

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, fun terminal animation tool
- you need a cross-platform CLI toy installable via brew, snap, nix, or docker
- you want to define custom animations with simple text files

## When to avoid
- you need serious terminal graphics or TUI frameworks
- you want animations outside a terminal environment
- you need production tooling rather than novelty

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: stable
- function: cli, animation, terminal-ui, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, entertainment
- platform: windows, cli, cross-platform
- tags: party-parrot, ascii-art, fun, terminal-animation, go, command-line, linux, macos, docker
