This document discusses a product engineering project inspired by parrots. It provides background information on parrots, including their physical characteristics, behaviors, habitats, and lifespans. It then presents several design boards with inspiration, themes, motifs, colors, materials, and clients. Five fashion designs are presented with specifications, sketches, fabric requirements, cost sheets, and selling prices. The conclusion reflects on the different parrot families and their behaviors, and notes the designs are intended to be worn during spring/summer for occasions like parties and birthdays.
