🦜 Iconographie des perroquets: . Paris: P. Bertrand, 1857.. Original source Image description: Illustration of a Green-winged Macaw perched on a branch, showing vibrant green plumage with distinctive red markings on its face, chest, and around the eyes. The bird has a strong, curved black beak and expressive eye. Its long tail feathers transition from green to shades of blue. The detailed texture of feathers and naturalistic stance emphasize the bird’s elegance. The image is labeled “Sittace rubrigensis” and is part of an 1857 Paris publication titled “Iconographie des perroquets.” The background is plain beige, focusing attention on the macaw with no other objects or distractions.
