Parrot Coloring Pages (Free PDF Printables)

Home›Free Printable Animal Coloring Pages

By: Papaya Ink Team · Last updated: October 14, 2026

Few birds take a change of style as well as a parrot. A macaw, a cockatoo, a cockatiel and a budgie are all built on the same shape – hooked beak, big round eye, long tail – and that shape survives anything you do to it: whiplash Art Nouveau curves, stitched patchwork seams, origami folds, zentangle fill, a mandala of spread wings, or a plain kawaii grin. These parrot coloring pages are exactly that experiment. Every bird is an original Papaya Ink drawing, and most of them sit in a proper jungle – orchids, hibiscus, monstera, a waterfall somewhere behind – so there is as much to color around the parrot as on it.

Click any picture and the PDF opens in a new tab, sized for US Letter and fitting A4 without adjustment; the book button downloads the whole collection as one PDF. The dense pages reward sharp pencils and a slow evening; the bold-line ones are fine for markers and for kids who want a parrot of their own. One tip for all of them: parrots are the one subject where you cannot overdo the color, so do not try.

Fun Things to Make with These Coloring Pages

Feather color test – before coloring a whole bird, pick one wing and lay the colors in bands the way real macaw feathers go: red to yellow to blue. If the bands fight, swap one and try again on the tail.
Jungle wall – color several pages, cut around the outlines of the leaves and birds, and tape them overlapping on a door or wall. The parrots look like they are peeking out of foliage.
Bookmark strip – color the bird, cut a strip tall enough to hold it and a few leaves, cover it with clear tape or laminate it, and punch a hole for a ribbon tail.
Paper-bag puppet – glue a colored parrot head to the flap of a lunch bag and the body to the front, and add a card beak that opens with the flap.
Stained-glass effect – color the page, rub the back with vegetable oil on a cotton ball, let it dry, and tape it to a window. The paper turns translucent and the colors glow.
Tropical place mats – a colored page laminated or sealed in a plastic sleeve makes a place mat that survives dinner; a set of different birds keeps the table from looking like a repeat.
Greeting card – fold a sheet of card stock, trim the colored parrot and glue it to the front, and write the message inside. A parrot carries a birthday better than most animals.
Pattern practice – on any page with patterned feathers, go over every pattern with a fine black pen before coloring. The ink line holds the pattern when the pencil goes over it.
