Friday Flighty Feathered Fiends

 And they come en masse
 occasionally spooked but not in flight for long
 there's magnolia seeds to be had!  
this one was the sentry; 
in a rare moment his beak is closed
rest assured he had his eye on me taking photo after photo of the hoard that decended into three
trees in my front yard.  They are noisy, bossy, skittish birds but 
the reward is 
Color, 
glorious color! 
Just look at that wicked lime green of the flight feathers in the above photo! 

They blend so well into the trees that if I didn't do super zoom in photoshop you 
couldn't tell they were there. 
*except for all the seed pods they knock off onto the ground & street!

  7. Have you ever seen the documentary that was made about these birds in San Francisco ?! It was called the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. These birds were all once from South America and purchased in the U.S. as someone's wild pet and then were freed when people were bored of caring for them. Really interesting!!


    the critters in the cottage xo

  8. Are these wild parrots??? There were some wild ones in the trees on Dolores Street not too far from the Human's schools, but the poster before us is right--the famous ones are on Telegraph Hill!

    They do look kinda tasty. Oh, Ms. Stella...........
