    The parrot Suka was a devotee of Radharani who wanted to hear about Krishna. He heard Shiva reciting Bhagavatam and took over making sounds for Parvati when she slept. Shiva tried to kill Suka but he entered Vyasadeva's wife's mouth and was reborn as Sukadeva Goswami, who later narrated Bhagavatam to Parikshit.

    Story of Sukadeva Goswami

     In his previous life Sukadeva Goswami was a parrot. But he was not any
    ordinary parrot. He was the personal parrot of Srimati Radharani. He used
    to take messages from Her to Krishna.

     When Srimati Radharani was about to leave this world back to the spiritual
    world, She told her parrot, called Suka, to stay here. But the parrot did not
    want to stay here without Her. Then Srimati Radharani assured him
    wherever the transcendental pastimes of the Supreme Lord are being
    narrated, you will not feel separation from Me.

     Thus the parrot Suka started looking out for a place where Hari Katha was
    going on. He finally reached Kailash, the place where Lord Shiva and Parvati
    live. Lord Shiva was reciting Srimad Bhagavatam to Parvati. The Parrot Suka
    hid himself in the green leaves of the tree under which Lord Shiva was
    sitting and started hearing the nectarean pastimes of his beloved lord.

     Lord Shiva was completely absorbed in reciting Srimad Bhagavatam. Every


    few minutes Parvati would make some sounds like, Hmmmm… so that Lord
    Shiva would know that she was still listening. However after sometime she
    went to sleep and stopped making any sound. Then Suka, who was hiding
    behind the leaves, started making sounds in the same way as Parvati.

     When the Srimad Bhagavatam was about to end Parvati woke up. Lord
    Shiva wanted to know how she liked the narration. Parvati begged
    forgiveness from the Lord and admitted that she had gone off to sleep.

     Lord Shiva was amazed and asked her who was making that sound. When
    she said that she did not know, Lord Shiva started looking all around to see
    if someone was hiding and hearing these pastimes. He finally spotted the
    parrot hiding in the tree.

     Lord Shiva started thinking that the parrot was not qualified to hear Srimad
    Bhagavatam. If an unqualified person hears these transcendental narrations
    there will be lots of disturbances therefore he wanted to kill the parrot
    immediately.

     Lord Shiva took his trident and ran towards the parrot. Seeing Lord Shiva,
    Suka started flying away, Lord Shiva followed him. Finally the parrot reached
    the hermitage of Srila Vyasadev. Srila Vyasadev was narrating Srimad
    Bhagavatam to his wife, Bitika. While hearing his wife yawned. At that point
    the parrot entered into her open mouth. Lord Shiva also reached the
    hermitage. He inquired from Vyasadev if he had seen the parrot.

     Then Lord Shiva narrated him the whole incident. Lord Shiva told Srila
    Vyasadev that anyone who hears Srimad Bhagavatam gets free from the
    cycle of birth and death and becomes eternal. Srila Vyasadev commented
    that since the parrot had become eternal by hearing Srimad Bhagavatam,
    he could not be killed. So Lord Shiva went away.

     The Parrot, Suka, inside the body of Bitika took the form of a baby within
    her womb. However He did not come out of the womb at the usual time.
    Instead of nine month he stayed in the womb for 16 years.

     This boy became famous as Srila Sukadeva Goswami. He was the one who
    narrated Srimad Bhagavatam to Maharaj Parikshit.
