General Description:

The princess parrot of Australia is a subtly coloured parrot with delicate hues of rose, pink, lilac , blue and greens. The princess parrot engages in mobbing behaviour against predators, not commonly seen in other parrots. They are found in arid regions of Spinifex deserts, hills and scrubland. Princess parrots are nomadic and will fly to wherever there is food. They prefer to nest in eucalyptus around watering areas. Its numbers are currently in a state of decline, despite being popular as a kept bird because of its personality and appearance.

I love it when you draw birds. ^_^ Also the concentration/blend of colour around the inside/outsides of the swirlies is a very neat effect.

Colour therapy is very interesting.
