EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 8: Loriculus vernalis, or the Vernal Hanging Parrot, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her collection "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. The parrot is shown perched on a branch, its belly facing the viewer, displaying a vibrant red belly and a hooked beak. The parrot is reaching out to grasp a ripe berry, its long, curved bill perfectly adapted for extracting the fruit from its enclosure. The verdant foliage of the branch contrasts beautifully with the bright red of the parrot's belly and the deep hue of the fruit. Loriculus vernalis is a small, colorful parrot native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It belongs to the family Psittacidae, which is part of the larger order Psittaciformes, and the class Sauropsida. The parrot's name "vernal" refers to its association with the spring season. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a prolific British natural history illustrator who produced numerous works during the 19th century. Her illustrations were known for their meticulous attention to detail and lifelike accuracy. This particular illustration showcases her exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of the parrot's plumage and anatomy. The illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of the past, offering a window into the world of avian beauty and diversity that existed during the 1800s. The Vernal Hanging Parrot remains an intriguing and captivating species, with its unique appearance and fascinating adaptations continuing to attract the attention of ornithologists and bird enthusiasts alike.
