Mount Vernon Parrot 3D Ornament
In 1799, a guest noted the presence of “several species of parrot” 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 décor or holiday decorations.
- Lightweight metal ornament, approximately 1" W × 4" H × 0.5" D
- Includes a 4" red ribbon for easy hanging
- Features a Mount Vernon gold tag attached to the ribbon
