Ceux-là sans savoir nous regardent passer (Ara chloropterus)

A pair of parrots - Ara chloropterus - are flying over a blue sky in the same position, with a slight difference in the position of their wings.

The drawing is based on a seduction sound of this species of parrots. It transcribes treble and bass with ink on paper, interspersed with silences. It's based on an open-source sound found on the internet, which records a limited part of a love parade from these birds, reputed to be among the most loyal to a single partner.
