Congo African Grey (Psittacus erithacus erithacus)
Prize art for - *parrots4life

The feathers ended up a bit too dark so it looks more like a timneh but it's still congo-looking. I spent ages trying to get the feathers right as african greys have that dark and light shade thing going on but didn't really get it anywhere near how I'd like.

I hope you like it!

Nice illustration. I had a bf in the 1990s who had one of these. The bird apparently loved my name, because he picked it up right off and repeated it a lot.
