[Art] Ground Parrot as Totem

[moonvoice]

The ground parrot of Australia, or Pezoporos wallicus is an uncommon, endemic parrot that has a beautiful bell-like call. It is one of four ground parrots in the world; and unrelated to the Kakapo.

The Western ground parrot is the most rare of all ground parrots in Australia, and is the most endangered endemic parrot in WA. They are shy, and silent during the day, only calling at dawn and at dusk.

Something special about this one, P...phenomenal...takes my breath away...

You always humble me with your amazing work - I'm in awe.

He looks so serious, like he is pondering something important. Or maybe that's just me...

He may not be the rarest. There is still a small possibility that Night Parrots are around. *crosses fingers*

Is that place above the beak really pink? How cool.

Beautiful artwork, as always. =)

Yeah it's a reddish / orangey pink in some species, not all though.

Lovely. Especially the colour contrasts and the feather details.
