Parrot is a term that's liberally applied to a large group of rowdy, colorful birds that belong to the family called...

Psittacidae (good luck pronouncing that!).

The term parrots also includes African lovebirds such as Fischer's and the Yellow-collared Lovebird.

Parrot that occur on the continent include the African gray parrot (with its distinctive red tail), the brown, brown-headed species.

Others are the brown-necked, Meyer’s, orange-bellied and red-bellied parrots. 

While it is easy to find parrot photographs, parrot paintings are far fewer and farther between. 

Plus, only a handful of artists has attained and retained fidelity to the anatomy, and exuberance of these sociable birds which are beautifully plumed.
