It took until winter, but the monks are now feeding daily at my feeders in Metairie, LA. They seemed to suddenly find me about two weeks ago -- first one parrot, then two, then four, then more -- the most I counted was 18 of them waiting to feed. Regular seed mix seems to be what they want -- I see them eating the small seeds. They are still very shy and anything will make them leave. They won't mess with the squirrels but are the biggest birds around the feeders. It's funny to see the sparrows and finches get at them -- the little birds are more aggressive then these big parrots.
