It took a while for me to find out the breeds of tropical bird I wanted to use for this project.
There are two birds at PJ's Pets in Square One mall that have quite the little personalities. One is named Fritz and is my shameless lover. Should he remain unpurchased into the summer I have every intention of buying the little darling. I would have done it sooner, but my current landlords don't allow pets and he's nearly $2k to purchase. As it works out Fritz is a Jardine Parrot. He wasn't the tough one to find.
Merlin was sold this week. I swear, you teach a bird how to say "Hello" and they're out the door. The little guy was crass, loud, destructive, violent and obnoxious. However, after him being there for so long the qualities became endearing if not amusing. After literally 30 minutes of looking through parrot breed lists on Google I figured out his type. A Burrowing Parrot, more specifically a Patagonian Conure. As one site put it, owning one of these birds "...is very similar to owning dogs with wings. "
In case you haven't already guessed, I'm basing my Hansel and Gretel characters on these birds. I plan my witch to be some sort of Tiki/Voodoo witch doctor leopard/puma character.
Fritz:
Look at their wittle faces :3
