The color on this bird was so hard to capture. They are shimmery, metallic, like jewels. They are in fact so pretty that they are hunted for their feathers and so are in danger of being over-hunted. This little guy has a spunky mohawk and an attitude.

Gosh, you really are a dab hand with colouring pencils.
Thank you! There are so many brightly colored birds out there, I could do several years’ worth of a bird-a-day. If I had the time.
