Cute and colourful parrot.
Ever wanted your very own parrot?
Ta-dah! Here he is, resplendent in his glorious bright red, blue and yellow plumage and standing proudly in his jaunty black hat (definitely stolen from a pirate). Another genius creation from Alan Dart, we can’t wait to get started on our new feathered friend. Where will you perch yours?

This lovely parrot would make a fantastic gift for anyone with children, or for a local nursery or primary school. He’d look so sweet perched on a shelf or desk, or you could find a bird cage and pop him inside! Make sure you place him out of reach of little ones.
