African Grey Parrot Red Factor Psittacus Erithacus Coffee Mug
This elegant illustration evokes the refined natural history style of Jacques Barraband, showcasing a striking interpretation of the African Grey Parrot Red Factor, scientifically known as Psittacus erithacus. Inspired by the classic plate Le Perroquet cendré Tapiré, the bird is depicted with meticulous feather detailing and a soft, neutral backdrop that emphasizes its vivid coloration. The Red Factor variation is particularly captivating, displaying deep crimson tones across the body while retaining the iconic pale face and curved black beak characteristic of the species. This artistic rendering blends scientific observation with aesthetic precision, making it highly appealing for collectors, ornithologists, and vintage art enthusiasts.
The African Grey Parrot Red Factor is a rare and visually unique mutation of the traditional African Grey, widely admired for its intelligence and ability to mimic human speech. Native to the rainforests of Central and West Africa, this species is considered one of the most cognitively advanced birds in the animal kingdom. The Red Factor variant, however, stands apart due to its unusual pigmentation, which replaces the standard grey plumage with rich red hues. Despite this difference, it shares the same behavioural traits—high social intelligence, strong bonding tendencies, and a need for mental stimulation.
Referencing Le Perroquet cendré Tapiré, this image bridges historical illustration and modern fascination with rare avian mutations. Barraband’s influence is evident in the lifelike posture and anatomical accuracy, reflecting early scientific efforts to catalogue exotic species. Today, such imagery remains valuable not only for its artistic merit but also for its educational and relevance, especially for topics like African Grey Parrot Red Factor care, characteristics, and identification.

The quality of these larger mugs is very good. I have been putting mine through the dishwasher all the time and it shows no signs of fading or dulling. Ergonomically these are lovely to hold and have fast become my favourite mug for a big cup of tea or coffee.
Totally recommend getting the tea infuser with the mug especially if you like using loose leaf tea, which always tastes better from my experience and is better for the environment. Printing was good, bright and most importantly accurately matches the colouring shown on the website.
