Review: 30581 Tropical Parrot Polybag

This polybag comes from the 2022 releases.  I finally tracked one down after six months of staring at an empty bin on a store shelf.



Bag.  MSRP is $4.00, for a $0.06 Price per Piece.

Instructions.














Parts.  Round Plate, Plates, Wedge Plates, 3x2x1.3 Bracket, 2x3 Rounded Plate, Inverted Slopes, Curved Slopes, Round Brick, Ball Joint Plates, Double Clip Plate, Studless Slope, Turntable Base, Printed Round Tiles, Turntable Top, Jumpers, Wedge Studless Slopes, Pin Ball Joints, Bar Plates, Rounded Plate, Large Cheese Slopes, Quarter Circle Tiles, Bricks w/Studs on Side, and Plant Leaves.  There is also a 1x2 Brick that somehow got stuck inside the package and missed when I dumped them out for sorting.



Build.  Frame and Station.  If I tried a little harder I could have
made a 2 Hit piece of Cover from the remaining pieces.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Below.  (+5)  
(The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  I like it but I feel like it could be better.
