Parrot Holding a Flower Coloring Page

About this page

Holding a small five-petal flower on a short stem with two leaves, a parrot offers it up near its beak. The flower has a round center, and the stem passes behind the bird's wing tip. The parrot turns its head to the right, with a crest of feathers on top, a big round eye and an open beak. Its folded wing at the left has three scalloped rows and a pair of tail feathers sweeps down toward the lower left. Both feet stand on the bottom of the page. The flower is the one bright accent, so its color choice can make or break the whole picture. This is an easy page for kids, and it makes a sweet sheet to color for a gift or card.
