Collared Parakeet

Time has stopped in mid-flight for this ring-necked parakeet. With its wings spread, its plumage a blend of emerald and lemon green, its long tail traces an elegant line in the air. Its red beak contrasts with the intensity of its amber gaze, a presence that is both lively and impudent.

Originally from Africa and Asia, the ring-necked parakeet has adapted to European cities where it has settled in noisy and spectacular colonies, particularly in Parisian parks. Fixed to its wooden wall mount, this piece captures the movement and lightness of the bird.
