Fun Fact

Did you know that Cockatoos are known for their impressive crests, which they can raise and lower to express their emotions? They are also incredibly intelligent birds and can even mimic human speech, making them very social and engaging companions!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Finesse - Use light, feathery strokes to give the Cockatoo's plumage a realistic texture. Consider subtle shading with grays or yellows for depth and highlights.
2. 2🖍️ Stone Textures - Vary your grays, greens, and browns to show the moss, age, and intricate carvings of the stone bird bath. Think about how light would hit the different surfaces.
3. 3✨ Floral Details - Choose soft pastels or vibrant hues for the vintage roses, ensuring each petal and leaf is carefully colored. Add tiny shadows under petals for a three-dimensional look.
4. 4🌈 Layered Greens - Use multiple shades of green for the ferns, ivy, and background foliage to create a lush, deep garden effect. Darker greens for shadows, lighter greens for areas hit by light.
