Answer:
I am orange and sound like a parrot.
Late afternoons I often bathe. I'll soak in water piping hot. My essence goes through. My see through clothes. Used up am I - I've gone to pot.
I am gold and can be black and white I'm a symbol for a nation when freedom took flight.
I can be written, I can be spoken, I can be exposed, I can be broken. What am I?
Drop me and the world will shatter. You can always find me where you empty your bladder.
