The Parrot (Ice Mephit) is able to cast Color Spray and Eagle's Splendor for the first 1 to 4 levels of having it as a familiar. Upon reaching level 5 and 6, it loses this cast of eagle's splendor, and instead, gains two casts of color spray.

I've dug around and seen this reported as far back as 2010, but have never seen any of these topics list a concise answer, and I have a stake in this, so I figured I'd try and confirm it once and for all, because it seems like a bit of a downgrade and not intentional.
I don't know why I made this my character's last name. I knew this was going to happen.

I've checked over this familiar, and Spell-like Abilities / Stat line / Skills etc. all seem the same. Do you have any more information? Do the spells disappear fully, or are they just not castable? Can you provide any more information please?

Eagle's Splendor disappears entirely.

They seem to lose it around level 4 or 5, but I haven't seen him be able to cast it since level 5 at minimum, it's been awhile so my memory's a bit off.

I've also heard the Bat familiar has similar issues with not having Endurance but gaining it later? Though I don't have the specifics, I'd have to ask Easytoremember.

Bumping this as I don't want to make a new thread, but this familiar still loses Eagle Splendor. At levels 5, 6, and 7 it only has access to 2 casts of Color Spray.
