Parrot and Olivier in America is a novel by Australian writer Peter Carey.

[3] While Carey was developing the novel, an excerpt was published in 2009 in Granta as "Parrot".

Born to members of the French aristocracy, Olivier grows up a strange, unhealthy, and eternally curious boy.

New York Times reviewer Thomas Mallon did not think the novel as a whole was very successful, though the style followed the quality of Carey's other work.

He described the novel as "replete with expressed feeling, if too wittily contrived for actual passion" and as well written, with each sentence "matchlessly robust".
