My friend in San Francisco who lives on top of a hill has her own flock. She puts the food on the top railing of her deck and she gets 30 or so of them to come and eat each day. They are so used to her they are now landing on her arm and eating out of her hand!!! She sends us videos. But I told her to be sure and wash her hands super super well after visiting with her birds!!
it is amazing that a highly endangered species in its original homeland, which still has an uncertain future due to the inability to protect the population from illegal hunting, has such a thriving and growing wild population in a place where it is unlikely to be threatened. We can only hope that some blinded conservationist will not seek to shoot the "non-native species". But as a back-up source for releases to native habitats, it wouldn't be a bad attempt if the growing population in San Francisco were to threaten or expand too much.

Does anyone breed these? I have a male, I'm quite sure by personality, I would love to have a female! My cherry-head sounds like a grumpy little old man!
@@chemistryset1 Ah yeah, I saw them in Birmingham on that tour (didnt get to see them on their latest tour, very sadly ). Yeah, i was so happy when they played it. Think i was about the only one really loving it :D
This was shot with a Canon Vixia HF G30. The blog that I linked to in the description seems to have been taken down. Which is a pity, because it contained very good details about the birds. I have now edited the description to remove the dead link and replace it with another link to a KQED article about them here: www.kqed.org/news/11185731/where-did-the-wild-parrots-of-san-francisco-come-from It has this to say about them: "The wild parrots in and around San Francisco are called cherry-headed conures. At one point, a mitred conure joined the flock and bred with the cherry heads. Now the flock is dotted with hybrids. There are a couple ways to differentiate the breeds. Cherry heads have slightly smaller bodies and a red helmet pattern on their heads, whereas mitred conures have a more blotchy pattern of red and feet that are a slightly darker hue."
Bet they make an awful mess dropping those spent berry husks. They often stop by my roost near the Sanchez Stairs at 19th St. I see them going from the Mission District to the Castro all the time.
They can be messy, you are right about that! I still wish I had a girlfriend for my boy Noel! I named him for his green and red coloring since we got him around December of 2016. I sincerely hope he lives for a good long time. He is a free-thinker and his speech is amazing and his sense of humor is out of this world. I don't know where his original human got him, but I love him to no end! There is one downside to the whole deal, he likes to tell us humans "hey you, be quiet".
Yes, it was a private gig in a back yard. It was a premium on his PledgeMusic campaign, raising funds to produce his solo album, "Unfold Yourself." Ben played in the same back yard during his Indiegogo campaign to fund "Rattlebag." If you look through my other videos, you can see some of that as well.
And the best part of it is that the person who was in charge of both Ian's and Ben's crowdfunding campaigns was local, so I was able to make and post these videos because they could be used to help with the PledgeMusic and Indiegogo campaigns.
Billy Green these guys are up there in my highest regard I've had the privalage to watch them live at Glastonbury once blew my socks off first heard them through think they we're on the "peel sessions " on radio 1 then end up with a copy of "liquid skin " then "bring it on" and still there timeless and the real deal none commercial artists unsung heroes which are still earning a crust not skimming from the top real music for real people and I'd like to thank you for taking the time with the sharing not just these vids but your own time to post and reply thanks a lot pal
I first bought "In Our Gun" because I thought the cover art was interesting. Then, a day or so later, I was in LA on business and heard someone say they had seen Gomez in concert the night before. Total coincidence, but the synchronicity caught my attention. But it was "How We Operate" that sent me backward to find everything they'd done previously. Joined the Facebook group, "Gomez Are Your Friends," which is how I got the inside scoop on the crowdfunding campaigns and the private backyard gigs. If you're on Facebook and not on that group, you should look it up. Ben's mother and Ian's sister are members (Ben's mother is one of his biggest fans). I got to see them live several times in the five or so years before they took this long hiatus. They're playing in Oakland this weekend, but I won't be able to go -- health issues are keeping me away. Otherwise I'd be right down there with everyone else.
Dude, don’t compare a “hard rock” band with a quintessential British indie band! Just because they had a song with the same name..... but actually the gomez song is more rock and roll than any the brummie Scottish Australian wannabes made :p
