How to draw a parrot

A plump body, a big hooked beak, and a long tail hanging below the branch. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your parrot to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a parrot

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the body

Draw one big bean shape, round on top for the head and plump at the bottom. Wobbly is fine.

2

Add a long tail

Two long lines from the bottom of the body, down and a little to the right. Join them with a round tip.

3

Give it a face

A big beak that hooks down at the tip, and a small lip under it. Then a dot eye with a ring around it.

4

A wing, feet, and a branch

A long leaf shape on the side for the folded wing. Then a branch under the belly, with two toes on each foot holding on.

5

Add feather lines

Two curved lines across the wing, and one line down the middle of the tail.

6

Finishing touches

A leaf on the branch and a round berry hanging under it. Now this parrot is yours.

Now draw a parrot repeating the silliest word it knows.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper parrot into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little tail swing below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
