Before Katrina, the parrots were just coming to my neighborhood in Gentilly, New Orleans. Since then, I've only spotted a pair of them this past Sunday. One was nosing around the feeder in my backyard, while the other was perched nearby in a tree. I came to this forum looking for ways to attract them to the feeder. I've been told to hang fruit on a string - apples & oranges. But you all are saying just the regular birdseed.

Right now, I have a lot of little sparrows who are really noisy & messy. I'm hoping they won't run away the parrots.
