It is obvious that the Torah doesn’t say straight out to read/hear Parshas Parah. Theredore, if it really is from the Torah then Cahazal (meaning, Mishna, Braysa, Gemara, Midrash etc.) would have to say so. Only Tana’im could learn such things out of Pesukim, not just anyone.

So, if there’s no source in Chazal (ending by Gemara) that tell us such a Limud then case is closed and it’s not a Torah obligation. Period. No one could come out of the blue and say “I could learn out from Possuk X that eating birds meat with milk is forbidden and therefore biblically forbidden”.
