Parrots in art

Parrots make perfect models for an artist, they are cute, they are colorful and they can naturally be at home in a  variety of settings. These settings vary from forests and other open air environments, to comedic surreal  poses occasioned by the parrots intelligence i.e. circus and magician performances and the current vogue for ‘you’ve been framed’ reality film shows, where owners can send in humorous films of their birds. Another popular use of parrots as models can be found in more allegoric and classical portriats or scenes, where a paradise is depicted with both humans and animals, and often parrots provide the necessary source of color. Parrots are one of nature’s show off breeds of animal, with such multi-varied plummage colors and shapes of bird making for a truly awe-inspiring source of artistic inspiration. Next time you look at your bird maybe think about having a portriat or an art photograph taken, to truly celebrate your birds unique beauty and charm.
