I'm curious to see your information on Parrot. I'm struck by how living in different places can really alter what an animal means for us. For me, living where parrots are no longer native or common, I suspect they will mean something totally different...certainly not everyday beauty.

Goes to show how different, even opposing, interpretations can still be correct.

Oh. And I love love love your black cockatoo artwork ;)

For me, parrot represents two facets of 'everyday beauty' (and also how parrot wants to be represented, oddly).

1. In Australia they are very common, not only as pets, but everywhere. But more importantly;

2. Parrots are always beautiful, and are surrounded by their own 'everyday beauty.' So much, that they probably take it for granted. They teach us to really *look* in a mirror and see our beauty, and how we take it for granted because we might be 'used to' the colour of our eyes, or the shade or tone of our skin. They remind us that others admire us, even when we can't see it, and let us know that there's nothing wrong every now and then with dressing up to let our natural beauty shine. We don't need make-up, we are all - like the parrot - beautiful enough as is. :)

Also, I think I have a spare black cockatoo print somewhere. If you'd like me to send it to you (I'd have to double check if I had it) email me your home address or an address you'd feel comfortable with at: ophelias_diary@hotmail.com
*grin* Don't worry about postage or anything.
