Birds come in all kinds of weird and wonderful colours – from bright and beautiful to subtle and sneaky.
You may find it helpful to research the bird you are colouring, and try and replicate their natural colours in the wild. Or you could let your imagination run wild – and choose whatever colours you like!
You can also use our colour palette challenges for inspiration, or read our guide on how to choose a colour scheme for your colouring page.
If you want your colouring to be accurate, give your chosen bird a quick Google, and have a browse through the images.
You can use sites like Unsplash, Pexels and Pixabay for royalty free images you can use for reference.
