Parrots in Brooklyn




  • The parrots in Brooklyn is something that I stumbled across in my research and really wanted to include in the four postcards.
  • They do not cause as much violent destruction or disturbance as lets say the bears in Anchorage or the Baboons in cape town - but I don't think this matters in terms of the narrative I am telling because it is as much about the animal in an urban environment - out of their natural habitat - as disturbing humans. 
  • Plus they do create a degree of disturbance - noise, nesting - so much so that Manhattan has created a campaign to keep them in Brooklyn and out of their neighbourhood. 
  • I also really like these birds because their beautiful (and nice to draw). I think putting them in the context of the high rise building of new york could produce some really nice imagery.
