Printable Red Parrot Mask

printable red parrot mask for kids

Vivid, vivid red and absolutely unmissable - our printable red parrot mask is a tropical stunner! While our regular parrot mask covers the classic green look, the red parrot celebrates species like the scarlet macaw and the red-and-green macaw in all their blazing glory. Perfect for tropical birds school plays, rainforest classroom projects, pirates themed activities, World Book Day, birthday parties, and gloriously loud imaginative play.

The red macaw is one of the most recognisable birds in the world and a symbol of tropical rainforest biodiversity - this mask brings that vivid colour to any activity and pairs brilliantly with the green parrot mask for a full tropical birds display. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Red Parrots!

  • The scarlet macaw is one of the largest and most colourful parrots in the world - its plumage of scarlet red, yellow and blue has made it a symbol of Central and South American tropical forest.
  • Macaws mate for life and pairs spend almost all their time together - flying, foraging and preening each other in a devoted partnership that can last decades.
  • Their beaks are extraordinarily powerful - a macaw's bite can exert over 700 pounds per square inch of force, enough to crack the hardest tropical nuts with ease.
  • Red macaws are among the most vocal of all parrots - their calls can be heard from several kilometres away and they communicate constantly with their partner and flock using a complex range of sounds.
  • In the wild, scarlet macaws gather at clay licks on riverbanks - the clay neutralises the toxins in the unripe seeds and fruits that make up much of their diet, a remarkable example of animal self-medication.
