We had a new visitor recently. This is the first time we have had a parrot at the feeders. He was trying desperately to get at the peanuts. There were two of them perhaps a pair. During the summer months there are a whole bunch of them in the near by trees but they seem to move away during the winter months. Since it has been fairly warm they are still around.
Lucky you! Parrots in your area. I would love that! I know that both Pasadena and San Francisco have wild parrots - not sure where else in So Cal.
ReplyDeleteIn the summer we see a lot of them here and in the winter they retreat to the near by woods I think.
DeleteIs he a ring necked parakeet? I know they are quite common in the SE now.
ReplyDeleteI can see the power napper :)
I could not see it clearly Wendy so couldn't tell.
DeleteThe din a flock of them must create :p so odd knowing you get wild parrots in this country, well down south at least :p
ReplyDeleteThey do surprise me every time I see them because I associate them with the tropics. But they don't seem too noisy from where I can see them , but I am not sure how the people take it on whose trees they nest.
ReplyDeleteI would be delighted to have either of those visitors but to have them both – wow! I used to see a lot of squirrels at our last house but none here. I do love to see them. Thanks for sharing the photos.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why you don't get them Barbara. You live in a fairly rural area so I would have thought there would be many. Perhaps there are more of other predators hence they don't come there. They are so interesting to watch
ReplyDeleteHow on earth do parrots survive in the winter? I know yours are not as cold as ours...but, it does get pretty darn cold and snowy some years....
ReplyDeleteVee they seem to have adapted themselves to this climate so well that they are multiplying
ReplyDeleteI can just make him out. Looks like you are busy Shashi as this post was some time ago. x
