      The colouring on the figure is very on point, and it really makes the bird come alive before your eyes, it must have considerable weight considering his size !~

      Lovely colour on this parrot! He's very bright and fitting, and definitely realistic too. I like his pose too, I can imagine him perched there, head to one side listening to something his owner is saying and maybe repeating it at a later date as they do! He's so full of character! XD

      Beautiful, reminds me of a Kea a native NZ parrot.

      Nice parrot Jenni and I agree with BHIFOS, reminds me of a Kea too.
      The correct body, shape and head down planning some destructive action!

      Phil thank you for your super insightful comment, yes this bird is quite top heavy - with the small base it easily tips over so that I usually lay it down on a soft surface. The speckled green color is so cool isn't it, like raindrops cascading down, then a bolt of solid blue on the back

      Lauren indeed this parrot has personality, the head pose is so true of most birds they truly are listeners - and if they are talkers, you never know WHAT they will pick up (often expletives!). I love the tropical green color also, very much a wild bird color. Thank you for your awesome praise

      Thanks BHIFOS for your great comment and teaching me about the Kea parrot, I totally agree from looking at photos it appears very similar - perhaps the designer modeled this bird after it, quite possibly. I always love to find a glass parrot because US glassmakers mainly made smaller songbirds & parrots are so gorgeous they deserve their due

      Karen I agree about the Kea too, the bent over stance, color, shape & beak are on point there. You have such beautiful wild birds in Aus & NZ that it's kinda sad that in NY our most common bird is the drab little brown sparrow, although they have a chubby cuteness & are fun to watch. This green parrot does look rather aggressive and planning some action lol :) Thanks 4 your fantastic comment & spin on this guy

      Thank you vintagelamp for your terrific comment, he is one cool birdie and is quite lovable to me too!

      RightWing thanks for your great comment,it is a beautiful green&blue colored bird and what an easy pet, no seed bags for it lol! I used to be a parakeet owner and their upkeep was alot of work, although I miss their chirping, talking ability & amusing personalities
