This mini-series emerged from the portraits created for Birdland (Bird Love internationally), where individual parrots revealed themselves as unique personalities. At first glance, their vivid feathers may appear alike, but time spent with them showed otherwise: subtle differences in markings, moments of curiosity, shyness, or playfulness. One bird perched on my shoulder and tried to press the buttons on my camera before theatrically opening its wings as if trying to sell me a watch. These works celebrate those encounters, reminding us that every parrot, no matter how familiar the species, is a being of wonder.
