Here's the first version of a pieced parrot pattern. I do see a second version in the future, however, because the feet are not working. I was trying to avoid excess fussy piecing, but it looks like the parrot has a peg leg, and that's for a pirate, not the parrot. And in theory, the extra lines you see are more "circles" that will have their own parrots in a half-drop style layout that will have the long tail descending between rings.
And excuse me for not wishing everyone a happy cat criminal day yesterday. I didn't know there was a special day either until Buddy snarled two of my skeins of embroidery thread. I covered the embroidery thread parrot, but apparently that made the crime more exciting. And then this morning, there was a ripped up plastic bag, and four new fur balls laid out in a row next to the bed. I assume Molly was the crimey cat who pulled the toys and the bag out of the hiding place in the closet.

That is a beautiful parrot pattern.
Sorry to be critical but can you try adding the second foot as another small square but underneath the slant of the blue wing.
A parrot with a peg leg - what a novel idea! I love the long tail with a half drop setting. And speaking of cat criminals, Alfalfa and Darla are still in “jail” at the kennel while we bask in the sunshine. Darla sent me a snarling selfie and says she’s writing a scathing tell-all book.
Cat Criminal Day? Oh, dear! Can you lock them up for their heinous behavior?
