To do the parrots activity I used toilet rolls covered in green card. The children then coloured in wings, head etc of a parrot design I found on the internet before these were glued to make the parrot. A piece of black elastic threaded through the bottom of the toilet roll went around their arm so it looked as thought it was sitting on them. (One tip, it's advisable to cut out the parrot bits beforehand so it cuts down time on the day)
