What's orange and sounds like a parrot?

A carrot

Why this works

This riddle plays on the similarity in sound between the words "carrot" and "parrot." While "carrot" is a vibrant orange vegetable, the humor comes from the unexpected twist of equating its sound with a talking bird. The cleverness lies in the fact that we often think about colors or characteristics in riddles, but here, the riddle surprises us by focusing solely on the phonetic similarity rather than visual traits.
