Love the book mark, every time I read a chapter it brings me joy, I have also seen the parrots my self, it’s so cool that the flock has grown to such large numbers
I had no idea that there had been a film... I simply happened upon this video. What a treat! Now I need to find the documentary AND the film. I read the book after someone gave me two 25 year old female Senegals. Love it all.
I wish your movie was still available to see! It’s no longer even on Prime! I am “Mother” to a re-homed Blue-Fronted Amazon. That’s what she calls me, “Mother”. I’ve got to find your book!
The parrots are torturing me every morning again waking me up. They pick my backyard to hang out in several days in a row each year it seems. Fun to see them. But man are they noisy! 🙉
In the curmudgeonly vein of "Hey you birds! Get out of my tree!" and the Sunnyvale flock which just finished squawking through my neighborhood, these birds aren't wild. They are feral. One should never feed "wild" animals...
These bird are in fact wild. There is no such thing as a domesticated parrot. A feral animal is a formerly domesticated animal that has converted to a wild state due to being left to it own devices. These parrots would be considered an introduced species because they are a wild species. Even if bred and raised in captivity, they are still a wild species. There is no difference between domestically raised parrots and domestically raised tigers, for example. Both are driven by wild instincts and are capable of learning to survive in the wild, although not all of them do.
