Parrot is the remains of a lunar crater that has been almost completely worn away. It is attached to the southern rim of Albategnius crater, and is located among the rugged highlands among the south-central part of the visible Moon. To the east is the small Vogel crater, and in the southeast is the Arzachel crater.

Little remains of the southwest rim of Parrot crater, and the other sections of the wall have been worn and smoothed by impact erosion. The remains of a pair of overlapping craters occupy much of the northern floor of the crater, and the remainder is irregular but relatively flat. No central peak remains.

A groove structure intersects the southeast and part of the northern rim, following an intermittent line from the south-southeast to the north-northwest.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Parrot crater.
