Modeled with wonderfully textured feathers and finished in glossy emerald green with cobalt, citron, and black accents, this piece perches on a branch-form base with floral detailing—classic Bordallo charm with strong decorative presence.

This example is factory marked on the underside, consistent with Portuguese production circa the 1970s–1980s, and presents in excellent vintage condition.

For collectors: if you love Bordallo’s beloved cabbageware (“couve”) plates and serving pieces, this parrot is a perfect companion collectible—same storied maker, same witty naturalism, and the same “designed to be displayed” personality.
