Parrot needlepoint patterns

Parrots: a scarlet macaw perched in profile on a branch or a perch, and a rainbow lorikeet on a branch, with a flower in most.

Both are drawn in several styles, and the folk art ones show a pair face to face. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and most can be made round. Bright plumage means many colors in small areas, so sort the threads first; most are marked intermediate.
