A Little Parrot at a Glance

Among the many shades of green on nature's canvas, the skin color of birds is the most vibrant. This little bird seen in the picture—a member of the parrot family—sits in a beautiful pose with its bright green feathers. Its calm yet alert presence in the wild will touch the heart of any nature lover.

The bird's entire body is dominated by a beautiful teal-green color. The slight yellowish touch under its wings and the curved orange-red beak add a new dimension to its beauty. Its round, bright eyes seem to be observing the environment around it very carefully. The rough texture of the earthen mound or tree hole on which it is perched creates a beautiful contrast with the soft feathers of the bird. Parrots are generally known for their social nature and fidgetiness. But in this picture, its solitary and still form is quite unique. The bird is brought into sharp focus with the blurred or 'bokeh' background of the forest trees behind it. This small moment of rest before spreading its wings in the open sky or between flying from one branch to another reveals a calm and beautiful form of nature.
