This beautiful illustration captures a pair of red-rumped parrots among the drooping branches of a eucalyptus tree. Robyn Clarke's detailed rendering showcases the striking sexual dimorphism of these Australian parrots—the vibrant male with his emerald-green head, blue wings, and distinctive red rump patch, alongside the more subtly coloured female with her olive-green and purple-brown plumage.
The artwork portrays these charming birds in their natural habitat, surrounded by the characteristic elongated eucalyptus leaves that provide both food and shelter. The composition captures the peaceful coexistence of the pair as they forage among the branches, highlighting their different but complementary appearances and their shared environment.
Red-rumped parrots are found across much of southeastern Australia, inhabiting open woodlands, farmlands, and urban parks where eucalyptus trees provide essential nesting sites and food sources. These ground-feeding parrots are known for their gentle nature and soft, musical calls. The species has adapted well to human-modified landscapes, often seen feeding on grass seeds in parks and golf courses while maintaining their preference for tree hollows for nesting.
The perfect addition to any nature lover's collection or an ideal gift for those who appreciate Australian wildlife art.
