Parrot Lunch Box Coloring Page

About this page

Leaning over an open lunch box, a parrot puts one wing tip on the raised lid and looks at the food inside with an open beak. The box is a rounded rectangle with a lid hinged at the back, and in the tray lie three fruit slices side by side: a wedge of melon with seeds, a round citrus slice with segments, and a smooth wedge at the right. The parrot stands at the left with a crest of feathers on its head, scalloped wing feathers and a long tail slanting down to the left. The small segments inside the citrus slice are a fun detail for careful hands. A medium page for kids, it fits school and picnic themes and lets you invent a menu.
