WiLd and CRRRRAZY parrots!

These three parrots spent several minutes talking to me about the "lack of seed" in the bird feeder [I keep forgetting to buy MORE]!  I think they have had enough of my procrastination!  LOL

. . .more hunting

 ~ this time with the family

When I first caught sight of them I was sitting in the family room reading in an easy chair.  I grabbed my camera and this was taken through the glass door.  They we all walking along looking to see if I had refilled the feeder, I think. They along with the grey doves clean up after the finches, who would leave a huge mess, otherwise.!  Ha ha ha.


When I opened the door they didn't fly way, but all the babies and one of the males scurried to the corner.


The adults flew over to the roof of the house behind us and called for the babies to fly to "safety", which they did after only the smallest amount of coaxing.  The little ones kept flying and the adults joined them to find a new hunting ground.  Surprisingly the dogs don't seem to discourage all the bird life in our neighborhood.  They fly away when the dog run and bark after them, but they come right back pretty often and they spend a good deal of time foraging in the yard for seeds, in the grass, etc ~ if the feeder is empty, like it is now...
