To make it harder for players to find and click on the bug, you will add an annoying parrot to distract them.

Add the Parrot sprite

Add the Parrot sprite.

Animate the Parrot sprite

Add code to make the parrot flap around in a distracting way:

Test: Click on the green flag and test your project again. Can you remember where you hid the bug?

Tip: If the parrot gets too annoying while you are coding, you can click the red stop button above the Stage to stop the code from running.
