Literary analysis:
In literature, the term "parakeet" has been evocatively employed to convey a vivid, almost tropical palette that transcends mere description of a bird. Authors frequently use phrases like “green and red parakeet feathers” to suggest a brilliant interplay of hues—implying a striking, almost ornamental coloration that evokes the lively appearance of exotic plumage ([1]). In some passages, characters even adopt the guise of a “green parakeet,” hinting at transformation through a burst of flamboyant color ([2]), while other texts delight in the intricate details of a creature’s vibrant exterior, noting “Green Parakeet, with the spurious wings golden‐orange: outer quills blue at their base,” to illustrate a richly layered, painterly effect ([3]). Likewise, the idea of “trimming” something with “green parakeet’s wings” uses the term as an emblem of decorative, bold coloration that enlivens the visual narrative ([4]). Such usages underscore how “parakeet” functions not only as a label for a bird but also as a metaphor for expressive and dynamic color in literary imagery.
