[ID: Three drawings in chronological order. The style is minimalist and nearly line-less.

The first drawing is of a hand presenting a single pea to a green parrot. He looks intrigued and his thoughts are: "A pea!".

The second is of him with the pea in his beak. He seems satisfied as he thinks: "yum".

The last drawing is of the parrot now in a very round shape, reminiscent of the pea he ate, with only a slight blue and red lign delimiting his wing.

Every time OP dances, her parrot flies along with her. OP says she never trained it on purpose and her parrot just loves doing this naturally. Sometimes it’ll just hop right onto her face. (cr 月下郭城)

Parrot tarot :) Did the sketch on watercolor paper, got scared and started a mockup of the colors on procreate… then I lost control and now here we are.

happy valen-parrots day!

[img src] a baby kākāpo has hatched for the first time this breeding season and for four years- bringing the number of total birds to 237 [1]. these are some of the most endangered birds in the world, with even fewer in the wild.

the egg was laid by breeding female Tīwhiri, but was given to breeding female Yasmine to hatch, as she didn't lay any fertile eggs this year. kākāpo also do best with only 2 chicks at a time. [2] [3]

[img src] these flightless parrots are native to parts Aotearoa and are currently listed as critically endangered. due to a population low of 51 in 1995, kākāpo breeding & genetics are heavily monitored to create the most possible genetic diversity going forwards.
