Start the drawing with two circles one for the body and one for the head.

Then add a smaller circle for the beak and one for the feet.

Draw two long lines for the tail feathers make them a little longer than the body.

Connect the circles to make the neck and shoulder and erase the extra lines.

Draw a squiggly line to divide the top of the beak from the bottom.

The bottom of the beak is a smaller half circle.

The wing feathers form a long skinny “W” across his back.

A few lines down the tail will make the three or four feathers, round off the feathers at the ends.

The face has a white cheek and the eye is a dot at the top of the cheek area.

Color the parrot red with a yellow stripe in the middle and a blue stripe at the bottom of the wings. Give him a red tail and head but remember his cheek is white.

My illustration was drawn with colored pencils, I used a photo from a book to get the colors right. I only spent a few minutes on it but if you take your time you can do a better job. Good luck.
