“Pictures cant capture the personality!”

As a bird lover and parrot owner, this might be one of my favorite NOVICA purchases ever! I always appreciate those rare occasions when artists do a good job capturing bird personalities. The pictures in the listing looked like Mr. Quarcoo had done a good job, but it blows me away in person. This sculpture looks so lifelike and has so much personality that I genuinely keep expecting it to move. I rarely photograph my purchases. But I felt like I had to at least attempt it here, because I feel like the photos didnt do it justice. After several attempts across different settings, I dont feel like my photo does it justice either, but its in outdoor light and in a different angle an I feel like captures other facets of this parrots personality Mr. Quarcoo captured in this sculpture. Mr. Quarcoos page doesnt have any other sculptures of local wildlife currently, but I think he has a knack for it, and I will be checking his page periodically in the hopes that he does more.

lifelike personable vivid adorable
