A parrot is a little bird that looks like it flew through a paint box. Most are smaller than your school bag, but some can be as big as a cat!

Parrots wear soft feathers that shine in almost every color: sunny yellow, grass green, sky blue, fire red, and sunset orange. When the sun hits them, they sparkle like jewels.

Their strong, hook-shaped beak is perfect for cracking open tough nuts—like a built-in nutcracker. Many parrots have long, colorful tails that help them balance when they climb and turn in the air.

Parrots don’t have vocal cords like people. They use a special throat pouch to copy sounds. Some can say “Hello!” bark like a dog, or even whistle your favorite tune. They learn by listening, kind of like you learn songs on the radio.

Wild parrots live in warm places—rainforests, grasslands, and even high mountains. They sleep high in tree holes so predators can’t reach them. At sunrise they fly out in loud, colorful flocks that look like flying confetti.

Treat them kindly, and you might just make a colorful, talking friend! Today's drawing tutorial will guide us step by step through learning how to draw a simple and adorable parrot!
