Śܰ첹 (शु�, ‘parrot�) is mentioned in the Rigveda, where a desire is expressed to transfer to the Śܰ첹 and the Ropaṇk the yellowness of jaundice. The bird is included in the list of sacrificial victims at the Aśvamedha (‘horse sacrifice�) in the ۲ܰ岹-ṃh. It is described as yellow and as ‘of human speech� (ܰṣa-峦). According to Bloomfield, this word is the correct reading for the second half of the obscure Śriśk of the Atharvaveda.

: Apam Napat: Indian Mythology

Shuka was the son of the sage Vyasa. According to tradition, Vyasa, who compiled all the Vedas and composed the Mahabharata, taught them along with the Puranas to Shuka and other disciples.

When Vyasa realized that he was issueless and knew that the issueless cannot aspire to heaven and higher regions, he was wondering which deity he should pray to. According to Narada's advice, he prayed to Devi (Shakti) and obtained a boon that an illustrious son would be born to him.

: WikiPedia: Hinduism

1) Shuka was the son of the sage Vyasa (credited as the organizer of the Vedas and Puranas) and the main narrator of the Bhagavata Purana. Most of the Bhagavata Purana consists of Shuka reciting the story to the dying king Parikshit. Shuka is depicted as a sannyasin, renouncing the world in pursuit of moksha (liberation), which most narratives assert that he achieved.

According to the Mahabharata, after one hundred years of austerity by Vyasa, Shuka was churned out of a stick of fire, born with ascetic power and with the Vedas dwelling inside him, just like his father. The Mahabharata also recounts how Shuka was sent by Vyasa for training to King Janaka, who was considered to be a Jivanmukta, or one who is liberated while still in a body.

In the Devi-Bhagavata Purana, Shuka is convinced by Janaka to follow the ashrama tradition, and returns home to marry and follow the path of yoga. He has five children with his wife Pivari—four sons and a daughter. The story concludes in the same vein as the common tradition, with Shuka achieving moksha.

A place called Shukachari is believed to be the cave of Shuka, where he disappeared in cave stones as per local traditions.

etymology: Shuka (also Shukadeva, Shuka deva, Suka, Sukadev, Sukadeva Gosvami, )

2) Shuka in Sanskrit means parrot and thus the name is derived from the large number of parrots found around the Shukachari hills.

Śܰ첹 (शु�, “parrot�) represents an incarnation destination of the tiryaggati (animal realm) according to the “world of transmigration� section in the 2nd century Mahprajñpramiśstra (chapter XXVII).—The Bodhisattva sees the animals (tiryak) undergoing all the torments: they are made to gallop by blows of the whip or stick; they are made to make long journeys carrying burdens; their harness is damaged; they are branded with hot iron. If sensual desires (峾rga), passion and ignorance () were predominant in them [people], they are reborn as [for example] parrot (śܰ첹); thus they become one of the hundred thousand kinds of birds. If they are guilty of lust, their body becomes covered with hairs and feathers; their plumage is fine and smooth; their beak, big and wide; thus they cannot distinguish touch (貹ś) and taste (rasa).
