Parrot Coloring Page (3 of 4)

This is a sheet that positively invites bold color - reds, greens, blues, yellows, as vivid as you please. You might keep to a real species or invent your own. Letting one feather flow into the next with a gentle blend gives the plumage some shine. There are no wrong choices here; color it as you like.

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.

Benefits as a Coloring & Brain Training Activity

For coloring, a parrot is pure pleasure because almost anything goes. Choosing a palette from the whole rainbow is a lively little exercise for the imagination, and blending one feather softly into the next is good, gentle practice for the hand. The bold, colorful result is the kind of cheerful page people love to display.
