I give to you.... RINGBRANDT!




Yes, Nila now has his own water colour set (non toxic) & easel

Let's see what masterpieces he can come up with!

Wow Claire. That's fantastic! Well done.

Ellie.

Thanks, he's a talented artist already.
I think we are officially classed as crazy bird people now!
Btw we found a ringneck sized xylophone at toyworld!
We now have enough training toys to keep us busy for atleast a month.

I want a signed piece of art for my collection

Keep an eye out on ebay ;)

You might have to wait a few years for that signature, I'll have to teach him to write first!
Would a footprint do instead? It's only a matter of time before he steps in the paints...

A footprint is so much more unique I can just see him walking across the paints and then the paper. You can call it...the rainbow ringneck

Haha imagine trying to get the paint off him afterwards! he could use his tail to paint the table, not to mention the rest of the house!

That photo is SO dear!

His birdiness painted a picture yesterday that, if you squint the right way and stand quite far away, almost looks like it has a parrot in it, impressionist styles.

I love the way that he will have a go at almost any new toy we bring home! He is such a yes man! I wonder if he'd wear a beret when he is painting....

Wow! That is so adorable! I never knew they made ringneck size paints! That is a very talented bird you have there.

A whole lot of squiggles and brush strokes. I did say you have to squint and look from a distance. But Dave saw the parrot too!

Actually I just showed it to a friend and she thought it was alady in a dress

Photo it or scan it - we want to see.

-MissK

I agree...I want to see it too!!!

I'll ask Redzone to put it up when he gets home.
Do you want me to circle the bit that looks like a parrot so you can tell where it is? when I asked what the picture was of I was informed it is 'what doing peekaboo' That's also what the last painting was called. ...

Maybe you could post it as a poll to name it

Skyes_crew wrote:Maybe you could post it as a poll to name it

Or a poll to see how many people see the parrot
The naming thing is a great idea.

Behold:

I actually see two parrots lol

So did Dave. I thought the second one was some kind of honey Eater. ..

It could go that way too. We have those birds here on the north shore. Here they call them nectar birds. But if you stare even longer...now I see a dragon with wings hovering over a parrot

this post is great!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for sharing! would be so great if you could record it? Id love to see a birdie painting in action as for the finished painting, i definitely see a parrot with pretty colored feathers

You know I just saw a art auction feature elephant art. They went for hundreds of dollars each. Maybe you could make birdie art a new trend

That's too cute!

Hmmm we better talk to some art dealers. I think bh taught her parrot to paint and sold the finished works to raise money for parrot charities. I'm sure nila would be happy to do that. Anyone want to help write the information cards about the paintings?

jml. My computer and phone aren't talking to each other at the moment, I'll make some videos as soon as I sort that out or buy a video camera.

Thanks. It's amazing what you can find in ringneck size! I think he'd do better with bigger paints though cos he keeps rubbing the brush across more than one and mixing colors. The effect is rather striking though, and he doesn't really walk through the palette since it's small.

I totally love this. I could see two birds. It's clear. I didn't even have to squint. I love the easel. I love the real watercolour paper. I love the pool table in the background. I looked at Rocky, just to see if I could imagine making a little crocheted Ringneck Beret, and he must've seen it in my eye because he backed away...... Of course, if it were my bird painting that, no way could I part with it. Really cheered my evening!


-MissK

I gave Skye a q-tip just to see if I could get him to hold it in his mouth to a piece of paper and he held it in his mouth like a baton, flipped it around a few times and took off with it lol. I think he may be better suited for the circus

Lol! You two crack me up!

We will be framing that painting, we are so proud of it!

Ok, so Nila still says no to the beret, but he agreed to allow himself to be videoed while he was painting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJLlLz_RBvI

He REALLY loves the green lol. Another fabulous masterpiece!! Bravo

I think it is a picture of an electus, I was talking about them this morning and how we should get one or a gang gang cockatoo... I guess he would prefer the eclectus.

Alphawolf, Nila and I have a fairly good understanding. I suspect the fact that he is a genius may be why we have such a good understanding and he will do anything for a sunflower seed, as long as you can explain to him what you want.

We will try to enter his work into an art comp sometime, just for giggles.... if we can convince missk to write the blurb to go with it!

Speaking of MissK...where has she gone off to now????

She better not have a life outside the forum! We couldn't cope without her!

I know!! I've sent her a message. I hope she's ok.

She's probably taking a well deserved holiday from here, in the mistaken belief that everyone is coping without her!

We will all just flounder around and pretend like we have confidence in our abilities until she is well rested and returns.

Nah, let's email her until she gives up on this idea of having a life outside here and comes back to us

You're right...how dare she abandon us

Alpha...I think rocky is enough screaming for her

Haha Nilas latest vocalisation is 'bok bok bok a chicken', or 'bok bok bok what are you doing? ' my boyfriend had been trying to teach him to say 'bok bok bok I'm a chicken'. I don't know if I could share the pain of it!

Come on...it can't be that bad lol. It has to be better than "I have pokchop" which was supposed to be "I can has pork-chop" how do I fix that?????

Mel; mould it into 'I am a porkchop!'

That suits her...I like it
