Parrot and Bowl Coloring Page

About this page

Beside a wide, shallow bowl on the right, a parrot stands at the left and leans in slightly with its beak open. The bowl is plain and empty, with a rim and a small foot, so it is up to you to decide what is inside, maybe water, seeds or berries. The parrot has a head crest, a round eye with a highlight, scalloped wing feathers and a long tail that drops toward the lower left. Its feet grip the ground at the bottom. With only one object beside the bird, the page is open and uncomplicated, and the bowl gives a simple round shape to fill. An easy page for kids, it works nicely for pet-care or feeding-time themes.
