+# parrotsay-lite
+Like parrotsay, but in C
+
+Feed it text either via the command line or via the standard input and see a nice party parrot repeating it to you :)
+
+This is basically a naive re-implementation of cowsay, in C, with a colorful parrot instead of the cow.
+
+Inspired by [parrotsay](https://github.com/matheuss/parrotsay).
+
+## Building.
+
+This has been tested only with gcc 6.3.0 in Debian Stretch.
+
+To build just do
+
+    gcc parrotsay.c -o parrotsay
+
