Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, portrait 5:8. One parrot in side profile occupies the lower-left and middle of the frame, facing right: comically squat rounded body, enormous hooked beak, cocked head, and an exceptionally long tail sweeping toward the bottom-right. Double silhouette composition: a deep teal bird silhouette over a slightly offset ochre duplicate, visible as a broad graphic echo along the back and tail, not a second bird or a cast shadow. One lifted wing creates a generous pale-gray wedge of negative space between wing and body. A single small eye dot and two simple gripping feet on a short horizontal perch. Broad marker fills, irregular hand-drawn edges, slight stroke overlap, no intricate feather detail or hatching. Flat rainy-gray background, subdued colours, ample empty space above and to the right. Strong thumbnail legibility. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
