A Tame Parrot

 
We've just returned from a fortnight's holiday in Tenerife, soaking up a bit of winter sun.  The hotel we stayed in put on some entertainment every night and one evening we were treated to a show of performing parrots.  There were 5 different birds and this one was my favourite as he sat on his perch all the evening jumping up and down and squawking from time to time to try and attract attention while the other birds did their tricks.  He only performed a simple trick which I can't remember now but I so enjoyed his antics and his wonderful colouring I had to draw him from memory the next day.

  1. What a vibrant sketch and to think you were able to draw him so well from memory. Parrots are so fun. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Hi Valerie, parrots can be lots of fun. I've never owned one personally but have had the occasion to be around them from time to time and they were always so entertaining. If I was to get a pet at my age (62) it would probably be a talking parrot just for the company while my husband is at work. Love your sketch. You must have a good memory.
