Parrot Costume

Boy decided two months ago that he wanted to be a parrot for Purim. Two weeks to go and I'm finally sitting down to do it. I did go out and buy the fabric right away, that counts right? The pic bellow is the back, got the blue "feathers" and a little yellow done tonight. More yellow and a little orange to be added tomorrow night (or some other night within the next week--I hope).
This costume qualifies as recycled, the red is a fleece poncho. The size and shape were awesome for this project, but it has a really big turtleneck on it. I'm thinking about carefully removing the neck and turning it into a hood. I think there is enough fabric to do it, just working out the how (especially the carefully removing part).
