Monk Parakeet or Monk Parrot, Myiopsitta Monachus Coffee Mug
This elegant illustration depicts the Monk Parakeet, also widely known as the Monk Parrot or Quaker Parrot, a small yet highly adaptable parrot native to South America. Recognizable by its vibrant green plumage, pale gray chest, and long tapered tail, this species has become one of the most successful avian colonizers beyond its native range. Feral populations now thrive in parts of North America and Europe, thanks to their remarkable resilience and social behavior. Monk Parakeets are also unique among parrots for building large communal stick nests, often housing multiple pairs in a single structure.
The artwork itself is attributed to the renowned French natural history illustrator Jacques Barraband, celebrated for his precise and lifelike depictions of exotic birds during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Titled La Perruche souris (French for “mouse parakeet”), this plate comes from his influential work on parrots, where he combined scientific observation with artistic mastery. Barraband’s attention to feather texture, coloration, and anatomical accuracy reflects the scientific rigor of early ornithological studies, making his illustrations valuable both artistically and historically.
The Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) is frequently searched for topics such as pet care, invasive species management, and urban wildlife adaptation. Known for their intelligence, vocal ability, and strong social bonds, these parrots are popular as pets but also controversial due to their impact on agriculture and infrastructure. This historic depiction of La Perruche souris provides both an educational and visual reference for anyone interested in parrot species, natural history illustration, and the legacy of Jacques Barraband.

It is a lovely mug. The actual mug is shiny and smooth. Very nice quality. It was everything I expected. Zazzle has so many nice mid century modern designs to choose from. All so pretty! The design was very clear and looked expensive.
