Red Eclectus Parrot Bird Drawing Posters and Art Prints

Vibrant red Eclectus parrot sketch with intricate details capturing the beauty of this magnificent bird. Perfect for bird lovers and nature enthusiasts.

Her cobalt blue mascara never runs! Quiet as her mate is noisy, this female Eclectus Parrot surprised me even further by choosing to perch uncharacteristically close to my lens.

Bring home some of that colour and attract some attention for yourself with this charming pair!
