An illustration of a parrot's head, facing left in profile, against a plain, light background. The parrot has vibrant red feathers on its head, with some white and light grey plumage around its eye and lower face. It has a large, curved, dark grey beak with a lighter, almost bone-colored upper mandible. Its eye is orange with a dark pupil. The feathers appear textured with individual brushstrokes.
