Yesterday, I saw something unusual for Southern California.
As I was leaving the clubhouse of one of the communities I have to patrol, I heard some loud squawking. I looked up and there was a flock (about 15-20) of wild parrots flying overhead. They all landed in a nearby tree.
The photo below is of the tree. The parrots were green in color, and they blended in with the tree, so they were very hard to see. All I could see was one sitting on top. Unfortunately, all I had was my cell phone camera, and the photo came out very pixelated when using the zoom. I circled the visible parrot.
After I took the picture, I approached the tree and they got startled and took flight.
One other time I saw a flock of wild parrots in Southern California. About a year ago, I saw about 20-30 of them in the Monterey Hills section of Los Angeles.
I live in Malibu and there are probably thousands of them. I see and hear them everyday.
