Information about the Sun Parakeet or Sun Conure:

Sun Parakeet or Sun Conure is a medium-sized brightly colored parrot native to northeastern South America. The adult male and female are similar in appearance. Sun Parakeets generally weigh about 4 ounces (110 g) and are roughly 12 inches long (30 cm.) This parrot occurs only in a relatively small region of north-eastern South America: the north Brazilian state of Roraima, southern Guyana, extreme southern Suriname, and southern French Guiana. It is widely reported as occurring in savanna and coastal forests, but recent sightings suggest it mainly occurs at the edge of humid forest growing in foothills in the Guiana Shield, and crosses more open habitats only when traveling between patches of forest. Due to habitat loss and the demand in the pet trade these parrots have been pushed to the point of being endangered in the wild.

The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil
• Paper weight: 5.6 oz/y² (192 g/m²)
• Opacity: 94%

Artist’s notes:

The Sun Parakeet or Sun Conure was completed on 9.10.2013. A good friend of mine had pointed out these colorful birds in a pet shop we were in, and suggested I draw one. That was about three years ago, if not longer. But I have hundreds of drawings that I intend to complete at some point, so sometimes subjects get pushed to the back, until the time is right. The drawing is based on a photo by Kelly Boytell and was used with her permission. The drawing will be used as part of a collage of tropical birds of Amazonia.
