If you want to capture the beauty of Parrot and would love to draw it, all you have to do is prepare a paper, a pencil and an eraser. Then, let us start drawing!

Steps:

Draw a parallelogram with curvy edges to create the Parrot head guideline on the upper part of the paper. Also, don’t forget to leave a big space below it to reserve space for the rest of the body.
