Easy Parrot Coloring Book

About this book

The book starts with a parrot gripping a short branch, a parrot standing tall in profile and a parrot holding a slice of fruit to its beak. Then one spreads both wings wide, one sits on a rope swing, and a baby parrot hatches out of a cracked egg with its wings raised. The second half shows two parrots chatting on one branch, a parrot beside a big split tropical leaf, a parrot offering a small flower, a curious parrot tilting its head, a parrot asleep with its head tucked into its shoulder and a parrot standing next to an empty bowl. The wings and tails are drawn as a few large feather sections, which makes parrots a natural way to practice using many colors on one animal without the areas getting too small. Backgrounds are left empty, so each bird is the whole job.
