Let me work through this step by step.

I need to classify each word from the word box as either a living thing or a non-living thing.

Words to classify:
- parrot

Step 1: Identify living things
Living things are organisms that grow, reproduce, breathe, and need food and water. They include animals, plants, and humans.

- parrot - This is an animal (bird), so it's LIVING
- lion - This is an animal, so it's LIVING
- boy - This is a human, so it's LIVING
- tree - This is a plant, so it's LIVING
- cat - This is an animal, so it's LIVING
- snail - This is an animal, so it's LIVING

Step 2: Identify non-living things
Non-living things do not grow, reproduce, or have life processes. They include objects, natural elements, and prepared foods.

- book - This is an object made of paper, so it's NON-LIVING
- air - This is a gas/natural element, so it's NON-LIVING
- table - This is an object/furniture, so it's NON-LIVING
- sun - This is a star/celestial body, so it's NON-LIVING
- burger - This is prepared food (dead ingredients), so it's NON-LIVING
- bag - This is an object, so it's NON-LIVING
