Ask Moma
Answer to Questions That Bother You So
What Is A Parrot Head????
A Parrot head is a fan of Jimmy Buffett's music. They like
the things Jimmy sings about. They like to phlock together
in a tropical life style. When Jimmy Buffet comes to town
to do a concert parking lots look like beaches with tiki
huts and plenty of adult libation. Parrot Heads
Indeed!!!!!!
Where did the name Parrot Head come from??
During a concert, Jimmy Buffett commented on the
tropical type clothes and hats the fans wore and how they
were as loyal as The Dead Heads. It was then that
a member of the Coral Reefer Band, Timothy B. Schmit,
coined the phrase Parrot Heads. He went on to join The
Eagles.
