They're Back! The Parrots
Aug 4, 2016 15:22:43 #
I was glad to see the parrots came back this year. I live about 30 miles from the coast. Someone is killing them in the city. Jerks. The parrots are very noisy and can be destructive but are fun to watch. They love my neighbors fig tree and pecan trees. My barn cats keep them out of my trees. It the parrots weren't eating the fruit and nuts the crows would eat them so most of us don't care. Downloads have better detail.

Terrific series, Terri! Their expressions always imply they are having a great time and not taking life too seriously. It must be so much fun to watch them. Super photos, enjoyed very much.

Great shots. Even the in-flight ones are sharp. I don't generally pay attention to birds but these are terrific.

Thank you for looking Linda and your nice comments! They are fun to watch. Most of them are in pairs. Tonight there were about a hundred of them in the trees. They blend into the trees so well but are so loud I can hear them in the house with the windows shut and the air conditioner on. It's sad that people are killing them. Terri

Thank you Angela! They are so much fun to watch. They seem to be more playful the other birds I watch, maybe because there are so many of them. Terri

Very nice detailed pictures of beautiful birds. Seems odd, seeing photos of parrots in evergreen conifer trees. I see them up here in North County San Diego, but usually just fly overs traveling from the beach palms where they roost to the inland areas.

Great shots. Here's an interesting article about how the parrots MAY have gotten there:
