(B118A) Macaw Mischief

My thanks to Isabel Morelli at www.pmp-art.com for the reference photograph.  (Please note the watermark does not appear on original drawing or prints.)

"Don't ruffle my feathers"! one blue and yellow macaw seems to be saying to the other in this pencil painting by Elaine Jones.

The blue and yellow, or blue and gold macaw, ara ararauna, is native to tropical South American woodland and can grow to 30-34 inches and a weight of 2 or 3 pounds.  These large, long-lived members of the parrot family are widespread in much of South America and are popular as pets because of their brilliant plumage, intelligence and ability to talk. 

In the wild they nest in dead palm trees and pairs usually mate for life, often reaching an age of 30-35 years.

This original pencil painting is presented in a cream mount/matte ready for framing.  (Image size approx. 11 1/2" x 8 1/2" - external size 14" x 11")
