Rare Visitor in my Yard

I feel blessed that I was able to see birds like this in my yard. You never see these in the wild.

dizzydank · 05-10-07, 14:20

FlyvAgaric · 05-10-07, 14:21

wow.. now there is a beautiful bird man.

spacecake · 05-10-07, 14:21

Cool,..those look like parrots !

apokalypse · 05-10-07, 14:30

I guess they like what you've got in your yard Sharkie.

SharkieJones' plants bring all the birds to the yard..

Well SharkieJones, if you live in the USA that is not a native wild bird. It is an introduced parrot. There of large flocks of parrots in some parts of Los Angeles. They fly fast and are always calling to each other. Extremely cool. I don't have a bird book that covers parrots of the world so I can't tell you where its ancestors came from. Its more immediate ancestors were pets gone wild.

It looks like they appreciate the sunflowers. Plant more and they will be back. They are very intelligent.

Looks like it likes to make a nest in the hole of a tree.

Did those nifty birdies ever come back?

Sunstar · 05-24-07, 06:51

Nice pics Sharkie. I thought it was parrot also. Cant say Ive ever seen one of those in the wild either

There are huge flocks of parrots living wild in San Francisco.They escaped from the pet trade and have been breeding for years.

Mermaidia · 05-24-07, 07:55

Those are beautiful birds! Great pic too Sharkie!

suckerfree · 05-24-07, 08:05

I was at Wal-mart a couple months ago walking back to my car... I looked up in the tree and saw I swear about 6-10 parrots. All in a big group... I stared like a couple other people that were staring.

Cool birds.. unusual to see for sure.

greenie · 05-24-07, 10:41
