If I do an ancestry DNA test, do my parents need to do one too?

Hear me out.
I thought about gifting them with such test, because I would like them to have the possibility to figure out where ‘they came from’ (topographicaly).
I have one such test in my possession, which I will send in soon.
Now, imagine my results come back as 90% Dutch, 4% German, 4% Norwegian, and 2% Nigerian.
What are the chances that either one of my parents will have drastically different outcome?
Or, what is the need to do the test for them (and for me to spend $180 unnecessary).

Could my father be, say, 20% Russian,or my mother 40% Irish?
