About the Parrot

Parrots are tropical birds known for their bright plumage, their strong curved bills and, above all, their intelligence. Many can mimic human speech and other sounds with surprising accuracy, and some species are remarkably long-lived and form close bonds with the people who care for them, which is part of why they have been kept as companions for centuries.

The parrot's vivid colors have made it a cheerful emblem of warm, faraway places, a familiar sight in picture books, on holiday posters and in countless designs. It carries an easy, universal appeal with no difficult history attached, which makes it a bright and welcoming subject for anyone to color.
