The story of the bird
This is the female Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus), and the choice matters, because the species shows one of the most extreme cases of colour difference between the sexes of any parrot: the females are red and blue-purple, the males a deep green, so different that early naturalists took them for two separate species. The female carries a rich jewel-toned colour story, deep red across the body with a blue-purple breast, and this print keeps it calm and premium with a simple branch and an ivory background.
The plate shows the female perched on a slender tropical branch, the red plumage and blue-purple breast set against clean, spacious space that gives it a collector-style feel. It is rendered in a contemporary Audubon-inspired natural-history style with a soft paper-grain finish. It is a companion to the macaws and conures but with a more elegant, less obvious edge, which is exactly its appeal. It suits a tropical room, a parrot lover, or a buyer who wants a colourful bird print that is not the expected one. Browse the full parrot and tropical bird print collection for more.
Paper and finish
Unframed prints come on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm, a heavyweight cotton rag with a soft matte surface and true archival life. The surface holds fine lines and subtle colour gradients without glare, which matters for Audubon-tradition work where the cream ground needs to read as paper, not as a white field. The framed option is set in a classic moulding, glazed and ready to hang, in black, white or natural.
Sizes
Available as archival fine-art prints in 8x10, 16x20, and 24x30 inches, with framed and unframed options where available.
