Amazon Amazona Buffon Burggraaff Complete Completes Festiva Festive Lejeune Oeuvres Ornithology Farinosa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases two stunning species of Amazon parrots: the Mealy Amazon (Amazona farinosa) and the Festive Amazon (Amazona festiva). The image is taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, published in Brussels in 1837. The Mealy Amazon, also known as the White-fronted Amazon, is depicted on the left side of the print. This parrot is characterized by its white feathers on the forehead and underparts, contrasting with its green plumage. The Mealy Amazon is native to Central and South America, particularly in the Amazon Basin and Orinoco River Basin. They are known for their intelligence, social behavior, and ability to mimic human speech. On the right side of the print is the Festive Amazon, also known as the White-headed Parrot or the White-headed Amazon. This parrot is easily recognizable by its distinctive white head and red and yellow body. The Festive Amazon is native to the same regions as the Mealy Amazon and shares many of the same characteristics, including their intelligence and social behavior. The intricate details of these birds are beautifully captured in this handcoloured lithograph, which adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the print. The use of vibrant colors and fine lines accentuates the unique features of each bird, making it a true work of art. This print is a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of the Amazon rainforest and the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures and their habitats. The Mealy Amazon and Festive Amazon are just two of the many species of parrots that call the Amazon home, and they serve as important indicators of the health and biodiversity of the region.
