April, that's incredible!!! I was thinking (dunno why, but I was) that he'd be a predictable water colour painting of your usual budgie. What you've done is alive and vibrant and it expresses the big-bird-in-a-little-bird's-body nature of a budge *perfectly*! Can't wait to see more of your amazing art. 
Wow! Just... WOW! I'm not usually at a loss for words, but that's all I got. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing it with us. Can't wait for the next one!

Lol. Ya not exactly a simple watercolor
My art style, as far as I can tell. is pretty unique.
Likely because it is influenced by an Amazon!
Cool style ! Its like a combination of psyadelic and mezo-American. Like an Aztec on acid style. Me likey. Cant wait til you get to the exotic parrots, so I can submit Salty's species, a yellow shoulder Amazon.

Wow! Ok, can I add my vote in for the Alexandrine, I don't even care if the decision has already been made (and also strictly speaking it probably should be an IRN because I think they are probably FAR more well-known)!? I just want to see an Alex in your style. I'm thinking mugs and t-shirts....like, seriously!!

LOL...which list are you using Kiwibird? Wrenches? I would like a female with that male Eclectus please...together they would be a dynamite picture pair! The winners of all prizes...the prettiest of the lot...no other bird could hold a candle to them....they should have been number one on the list

You guys are awesome! I love the suggestion of doing 2 ābonus birdsā and making it a calendar. I will have to explore the options on HOW to do that. I am already looking into shirts for this series, but again I have to figure out how/where. I do have a company I can order fine art prints from Iāve been using for printing the couple commissions Iāve gotten, but thatās all they do. Itāll probably take me some time to figure out how to put my art on anything else and find somewhere that can print something like a shirt and have it be anywhere close to the right colors. While I may be talented at art, I have no mind for business stuff at all. I think Iām a pretty typical artist in that way
