In 1799, a guest noted the presence of āseveral species of parrotā on the piazza at Mount Vernon, including a cockatoo. Mrs. Washington and her granddaughter, Nelly Custis, owned many exotic birds such as parrots and cockatoos, which became a familiar feature of life at Mount Vernon for at least three decades. As early as April 8, 1773, George Washington purchased a parrot from the captain of a West Indian trading ship that stopped at the estate.
This beautifully colored and etched 3D ornament represents one of these vibrant tropical birds. It makes a striking addition to home dƩcor or holiday decorations.
