After drawing a parrot portrait for an trade some months ago, I got a request from another parrot owner. This artist trading card features Shadow, a nanday conure talented enough to maintain his own blog: A Parrot’s Point of View. Shadow is also the inspiration for the children’s book “If You Were a Parrot” by Katherine Rawson. Katherine provided a number of charming photos for me to work from and I quickly fell in love with this bird.
