I'm interested in finding parrots in pre-modern Western art outside of scientific illustrations. Thought I'd share some :)
Henry Stacy Marks [wiki], 1891, "A Select Committee"
Joseph Wright of Derby, 1768, "An Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump"
Check out the Wikipedia entry for a hi-res file and extensive insight behind the scene
An illustration by Charles James Folkard.
I get a huge kick out of this cockatoo.
