Sleeping Parrot Coloring Page

About this page

Fast asleep, a round parrot is tucked in with its head turned back and nestled against its shoulder. A peaceful closed eye is drawn as a curved line inside a round cheek patch, and the beak is half hidden behind the wing. Fluffy feather marks cover the head and chest, and the folded wing lies across the body in several rounded layers that point toward the long tail at the lower right. Two feet stand close together at the bottom. The body is a plump oval, which gives a large, simple area for soft colors. This quiet easy page is a nice pick for kids who like calm scenes, and it suits a sleepy pastel palette as well as brights.
