This is a wonderfully detailed portrait in gouache of a budgeridar named 'Cecil', by the nature artist Kenneth James Wood, who specialised in painting birds. He has signed the painting to the lower left hand side and dated it 1978. Cecil was a blue, male budgerigar and is pictured perched on a branch, with some campion flowers to either side.
