Dewdrop Discovery: Curious Baby Lorikeet

Fun Fact

Baby lorikeets are born with soft, downy feathers that help keep them warm. As they grow, these are replaced by the vibrant, colorful feathers their parents are famous for! Lorikeets love to eat nectar and pollen, not seeds like many other birds.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Fluffy Feathers** - Use very light, short strokes in various shades of pastel colors (like pale yellow, soft green, or light blue) to create the soft, downy texture of the baby lorikeet's feathers.
2. 2🖍️ **Sparkling Eyes** - Color the eyes a deep, rich color, leaving a tiny white dot or two to make them look bright and full of curiosity. This makes the lorikeet feel alive!
3. 3✨ **Textured Branch & Leaf** - Use browns, grays, and greens for the branch and leaf. Add small lines and dots to the branch for bark texture, and vary your greens on the leaf for veins and natural imperfections.
4. 4🌈 **Shimmering Dewdrop** - To make the dewdrop look real, color it very lightly with a hint of blue or green, then add a tiny white highlight at the top to suggest light reflecting off its surface.
