I hear the raucous squawking early. I haven’t heard it for months. Thought they were gone for good, but I’m glad they are back. The parrots perched in an old palm tree in our front yard, off and on, all day long, most of last year.
How astonished I was to see them return! A neighbor told me that they were orphans from the Busch Gardens Brewery Attraction that closed some years ago in the central San Fernando Valley.
Well, being a bird watcher, I guess I have to love them all.
I didn’t take the photo - it’s by Ken Rudine, 2009, from a website about parrots that live on the Rio Grande in Texas. Ours are a more beautiful iridescent green.
