Crested Bird on Branch Coloring Page

A prehistoric-looking bird with a backward-pointing head crest grips a sturdy branch with sharp talons, its long tail trailing behind. The body's covered in patterned scales that look like overlapping feathers, while flowering plants create a natural frame on both sides. Try colored pencils for the scaled texture—you'll get nice shading between each little section. This coloring page works great for building patience with repetitive patterns.
