Does Mimic keep the copied ability after the hour ends?

No. Mimic is a once-per-hour copy of a nearby pet ability. Expect a fresh cycle next hour rather than a permanent unlock of the source kit.

Should I age Parrot if its power depends on neighbors?

Yes if it stays deployed—age and weight still feed the site ability score, and max age is 100. Aging does not invent a stronger personal ability; it only scales whatever Mimic may express that hour.

Parrot is the uncommon roster wildcard: Mimic borrows one nearby pet ability each hour, so its usefulness rises or falls with whoever stands beside it rather than with a fixed personal toolkit.

Parrot weight progression

Parrot hatches at 1 kg and grows with the formula W = (hatch ÷ 11) × (age + 10). The table below projects its weight at each age milestone so you can plan trade timing and weight targets.

Parrot weight by age
Age	Projected weight
Age 1	1.00 kg
Age 25	3.18 kg
Age 50	5.45 kg
Age 75	7.73 kg
Age 100	10.00 kg
Age 125	12.27 kg

Playstyle

Treat Parrot as a flex slot. Keep a strong utility neighbor in range when Mimic should matter—sell helpers, weather pets, or defenders all qualify on paper. Swap neighbors between sessions; parking next to weak commons wastes the hourly window. Editorial tier C rates independent power, not neighbor upside.

Weight & trading

Hatch weight is 1.0 kg (uncommon, Big by hatch). Plugging into W = (hatch ÷ 11) × (age + 10) gives about 0.91 kg at age 0, 5.45 kg at age 50, and exactly 10 kg at age 100. Age still feeds ability-calculator scores, but Mimic’s ceiling is neighbor quality more than kilogram flex.

Mimic copies a nearby pet ability once per hour. Roster text does not spell out target priority, copy strength versus the source, or eligible ability types. Use the pet ability calculator for relative power by age and gear; confirm the live tooltip before building a session around one borrowed effect.

Building a neighbor-dependent hour

Plan the hour around one intended source. For a sell window, seat a sell-focused pet adjacent before the Mimic tick; for mutation support, rotate a weather or harvest pet into that seat. Parrot does not permanently learn abilities—each hour is a fresh copy.

Selection rules are thinly documented, so keep layouts simple: one high-value neighbor nearest to Parrot beats a cluttered ring of mixed commons when you need a predictable outcome. Re-check after patches that touch pet targeting.

Editorial tier C versus uncommon rarity

Uncommon rarity describes hatch-pool placement; editorial tier C ranks independent contribution on this site. A Parrot next to strong pets can punch above that label; a Parrot alone does not.

Trade value is a separate conversation. Rarity alone does not price Mimic—buyers care whether your roster can feed it something worth copying. Do not treat editorial C as a market quote.
