These Lifelike Paper Portraits Shine a Light on Endangered Parrots via My Modern Met [Shared]

Parrots are known for being cheerful and colorful birds with a chatty side. To spotlight these beautiful birds and the many visually arresting hues they come in, Nayan Shrimal and Venus Bird from The Paper Ark have launched The Parrot Project, in which they create lifelike paper portraits in their likeness for a good cause.

All is forgiven. The power of sleep and a cashew! Soft crumching sounds #parrot #birb

I had to wrap Pete in a towel to trim his claws. They were waaaaay too long now he will be grumpy with me until the morning. Somehow, a sleep resets his grumps #parrot #birb

I am making a Pete sticker and zine pack because some people have asked me for the zine, might as well do a sticker too #parrot #birb

Before Pete, a cockatiel named Walter lived with me. This is himb. And he is missed #parrot #birb

Galahs are common all over Southern Victoria. They are the only bird I know which is curious enough to sit and watch humans being silly!

Maybe I should try out #ChatGTP or other #Algorithms to help me with #coding a #design for my #blog instead of struggling with it, because I'm not a #professional developer.

I should use all available #tools at my disposal to reach my goal more easily, instead of spending extra #time or also #paying extra for it.

But I won't call it #AI, it's still a relatively #dumb algorithm, also called #Parrot Algorithm!

Good morning! Pete is a bit fluffed up this morning because it is cold #parrot #birb

Did you know that my birb Cinnamon is not only a little opera singer, but also a huge screamer?
