Baby Parrot in a Nest Coloring Page

About this page

A fluffy baby parrot sits in a woven nest, looking up with huge sparkling eyes and a happy open beak. Three smooth eggs rest in front of it, one on each side and one in the middle, while the nest itself is built from crisscrossing twigs that wrap around the bottom half of the page. The chick has a tuft of feathers on its head, soft chest fluff, one small wing with a few layered feathers and a short tail pointing up to the right. The twiggy nest is full of overlapping lines that give a lot of small areas, while the eggs and bird are broad and smooth. Medium difficulty and a warm, tender mood make it a good fit for kids, especially in spring.
