Adding a ghost role for parrots.
About the PR
This is a PR that adds a 5% chance that when creating a parrot it will become a ghost role.
Why / Balance
Our parrot has a voice and a speech accent (#26340). It would have been more appropriate to make him a ghost role.
Technical details

- add: Now there is a chance that parrots can become a ghost role.
Ghost role + movement + ability to talk normally is really strong considering most ghost role pets are completely incapable of speech.
Pirate parrots absolutely should be a ghost role though.

that's right. In such cases, what is the best thing to do? Increasing the price of livestock parrots? Or reducing the chances of a ghost role?
Maybe they have a list of words they can actually say, and everything else gets replaced by bird noises?
Bonus fun if there's a small chance that if you hear a word it gets added to the list.
don't maintainers not want any more roundstart ghost roles? I'm fairly certain multiple maps have a parrot in engineering.
agree with sloth, this isnt really what parrots are for, just need to implement ss13 parrots, theres plenty of other pet ghost roles to pick
