Hello all,

Well, I finally finished the first pack of hopefully more to come.. again, I tried to keep them as accurate as possible, but due to the restraints of how the textures are set up, (ie, top and underside of the wing are the same), this isn't always possible.

Species included in this pack are as follows:

Blue and Gold: Lovely electric blue and golden-yellow coloration. One of the most popular macaws available as pets, along with the scarlet. Known for having a great all-around personality.
Hyacinth: Largest living parrot; very endangered. Royal blue, with a gold-striped black tongue and golden-orange skin around the eyes and beak. Known for being gentle giants.
Greenwing: Mostly a deep red, similar in coloration to the scarlet but with green in place of yellow. One of the largest macaws, a step down from the Hyacinth.
Military: Primarily green, with a red patch of springy feathers at the crown. Socialble birds, though descriptions on individual behavior varies.

My Guidelines:

-Feel free to recolour my recolours... Just link back to this page.
-Do NOT upload my creations on the Exchange or pay sites.
-You may use my creations in pictures, stories, etc.
-Please give credit where credit is due.

Thank you!

Fantastic color and featherwork on these, Sae Sae!
I'm definitely tucking these away and will buy them all as soon as I find a hack that prevents them from dying

burnout9118: birds and those little rat things (sorry) are objects. You can recolor them with simPE.

I think.

Yep, I have them both Enchantedwolf, plus the 'Permanently Supplied and Clean Pet Cages' by Christianlov and my birds still die... but the dogs never do.
Oh well, maybe someone can fix the lifespan or something for them one day. Thanks for the offer of help though, Enchantedwolf

I love the blue bird.
Update: July 2009-I am back now to make invisible and tranparent recolors again in sims 2. You can pm me if you want your objects to be invisible and transparent from now.

I have some vague plans to do alot of different birds... whether or not they'll get done is an entierly different matter I am working on some Cockatoos right now, I might do some smaller parrots after that. Right now I'm starting with ones that are more easily made from the maxis textures, since making my own textures from scratch is out of my experience range...

I am glad everyone likes them so much so far! I love doing the more rare ones like the Hyacinth; most people only see renditions of the most common ones and I hope to at least put them out there in some manner or other

Great Job!...I love em....I have 2 blue and gold macaws and was kinda disapointed when I saw the maxis made parrots......

keep doin such nice work. I love it....:-)

mario :-)

ps would there be a chance to enlarge their beaks ? and make them looooonger tail feathers ? my macaws have larger beaks and much longer tail feathers....but the "original" stuff is also ok...it was just an idea :-)...it would make them look more like the real macaws

Hello I am new to downloading stuff and just had a little question...

Do these show up as more choices to choose from as the birds or do they overwrite the ones you can choose from already?

Thanks. They are very lovely!
