Mascot - Blue Arrara

[Francesco Ugolini]

The animal work is seen by the people like a "stupid word", but at the
same time, each animal as something special, we have to focus this last
thing. Parrot is more fedorian than you can think, in fact he adapt
himself in every situation, like Fedora who can give people the
possibility to create a personal distribution, not only, he is a
beautiful animal, like Fedora desktop, icon etc...

I'm a little bit minimalist, so as many said an easier version of the
parrot would be more cool.

For me +1 for Parrot.
