Every morning right about 7 am, This sound. <(Video Below); Is all you can hear. If you haven't heard wild parrots squawking then you probably sleep through the morning lol. They are very loud and when there is a Pandemonium of parrots it's like some kind of Alfred Hitchcock film. They non-stop talk back and forth. š
It is common to see them this time of year and actually for the most part of the year. The wild parrots in California are descendants of escaped captured parrots from Mexico.
One story is that a while back a truck transporting parrots from Mexico was in an accident which allowed the parrots to escape and start a new happy life herešš¦ .
Other reasons are just escaped pets and migration of some.
These guys are noisy but they are incredibly beautiful birds. The bright green with the gray, blue and red are brightly colored. Yet these guys are very hard to spot in a tree. Their colors allow almost perfect camouflage matching the leaves of the trees they land in almost perfectly. This next image is a bad composition (clipped the tail), but I display it unedited and uncropped to show how "Camo" they are. There are times I am unable to find the one I'm trying to shoot. šŖ
I see them a couple of times a day. They still make me smile. Beautiful, Intelligent and fun to Photograph.
