You have found fun options for parrot themed birthday party invitations, activities, and gift ideas.
First off are the coloring invitations. The main design on the invitations is a colorful outline drawing of a parrot. You can choose from two sided invites and postcards. The text on each features an area to fill in the details by hand, or the text can be typed in online, in place of the lines - using the template forms.
Kids can be asked to color in their parrot invitation and bring it to the party. They will make fun keepsakes for the birthday person, and can also be used as a drawing contest for a prize! I.e. boldest colors, most original look, most abstract, etc. There can be enough categories so that every child can go home with a fun prize.
An activity idea to do early on is for some painting, coloring/painting time. The parrot outline is printed on tee t-shirts. The shirts can be colored in using acrylic fabric paint markers, or painted in using bottled fabric paint and brushes. The paint markers make less mess. If you use paint brushes, then you will also need bowls of water to rinse the brushes in between changing colors, and paper towels to dab them off.
Whichever method you use, be sure to have some flat sheets of cardboard on hand to place in between the fabric layers of the shirts to prevent bleed through of the paint. It's also best to do this activity at the beginning of the party so that the artistic creations will have some drying time.
For those with younger kids and or for those who just want less mess, these simple parrot coloring sheets are the answer. There are two parrots facing each other on each sheet. There is a blended yellow and green background to help the coloring project have a more finished look. There are 40 8-1/2x11 inch pages per pad. Be sure to allow for extra sheets in case of any mishaps. : )
You and or the kids, can create hanging birds from paper plates. This video features a dove, but you can add color to the bird and streamers to make it look like a parrot. The kids can also have fun coloring the wings. It can also be a pre-cake activity.
Kids love to make noise and they'll get to do that with this parrot themed game .The Repeat Game is a fun activity to play towards the end of the party, giving the kids some cohesive interaction time and also some extra drying time for any art projects.
Have the children sit in a row. The first child in the row will whisper a short sentence to the child sitting next to them. The next child then whispers what they heard to the child sitting next to them, and so on, all down the row. The last child will then say out loud what they heard whispered to them, to see if it is anything like what was whispered by the first child. Laughs will usually ensue. The children can then change order and repeat, if time permits. (The first child in each game can also select their sentence from a hat or plastic bowl.)

May you have a wonderful birthday celebration.
