EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph depicts the Bauers Parakeet, Platycercus baueri, from Edward Lear's "Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae or Parrots," published in 1832. The Victorian-era illustration showcases the vibrant plumage and distinctive features of this Australian parakeet. The Bauers Parakeet, also known as the Australian Ringneck Parakeet or Barnard's Parakeet, is a sauropsid, a reptile-like bird belonging to the order Psittaciformes and the family Psittacidae. The species is native to eastern and southeastern Australia, and its name honors the German naturalist Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, who was known as Baron von Bauer. The parakeet's plumage is predominantly green, with a distinctive red ring around its neck and a yellow band around its eyes. The wings and tail are a deep blue-green, and the flight feathers have white tips. The beak is grey, and the feet are pink. The Bauers Parakeet is a popular pet due to its attractive appearance and intelligence. In the wild, they live in a variety of habitats, including forests, woodlands, and grasslands. They feed on a diverse diet, including seeds, fruits, and flowers. This beautiful illustration by Edward Lear captures the essence of the Bauers Parakeet, providing a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird species. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the parakeet to life, making it a cherished addition to any collection of natural history art.
