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.
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.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments
Yeah, it took ages
(I said Jaco because I know a parrot like that named Jaco, and its also the name of the bird in norwegian ''Grå Jaco'' =A grey Jaco)
