Free-For-All: Curl-Crested Araçari

I was lucky enough to help care for a few araçaris when I volunteered at Belize Bird Rescue in 2018 and I realised how much I like them. The way they move is comical yet intelligent and they seem to be very inquisitive by nature.

The FaunaFocus Free-For-All is an art competition that is open to all and is intended to foster community-based learning while celebrating successes and encouraging artists to improve from discipline and criteria.

December 2019’s Free-For-All featured the curl-crested araçari.

Amy Gorns portrayed a couple of curl-crested araçaris within a soft, pastel-colored bunch of leaves. Surrounded by glowing particle effects, these detailed birds gave a calming vibe and were skillfully drawn with attention to detail.
