Sun Parakeet Male, Aratinga Solstitialis Large Clock
This illustration presents a brilliantly colored male Sun Parakeet, rendered in a classic natural history style reminiscent of early ornithological works. The bird is shown perched on a textured branch, its posture calm yet alert. Its plumage radiates with intense hues—fiery orange across the face and chest, blending into golden yellow along the body, and contrasted by deep green and blue flight feathers. The composition and fine detailing reflect the influence of Jacques Barraband, whose work in documenting exotic birds combined scientific precision with artistic elegance. The inscription “Perruche Ara, Guarouba mâle” further ties the image to historical European interpretations of South American parrots.
The male Sun Parakeet, scientifically known as Aratinga solstitialis, is native to northeastern South America, particularly in regions of Brazil, Guyana, and Suriname. Despite the historical label Guarouba, the species belongs to the Aratinga genus and is admired for its vibrant coloration and expressive behavior. These parrots inhabit tropical savannas, dry forests, and coastal areas, where their bright feathers blend with sunlit vegetation. Highly social by nature, they travel in small flocks and communicate through sharp, distinctive calls that echo through their environment.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork highlights the ecological and conservation significance of the Sun Parakeet. The species is currently considered endangered due to habitat destruction and capture for the pet trade. Barraband’s detailed approach not only immortalizes the bird’s physical beauty but also underscores the importance of preserving such species for future generations. Today, the Sun Parakeet remains an iconic symbol of tropical biodiversity, celebrated both in historical illustrations and modern conservation efforts.

Great price for a very nice product. Arrived a day early - unheard of these days. The outside gold area has a little more orange tone to it than shown in the picture. Great packing so product can't get damaged. I used the same packing to forward the clock to my brother and sister-on-law for the 50th wedding anniversary. Printing was just as expected - lovely!

My 93- yr. old Dad has everything.....and now including a clock with pictures of him in action!
Was initially a bit difficult to size & position the pictures in each space, but the end product was worth the effort. He enjoyed it and it was definitely a unique way of memorializing good times in his life. Quality of print was good.
