Hi LA, That parrotquail site is so cute!!

Thanks for posting all this I didn't realize how many different parrots there were flying free in Ca.

Thanks Pelletory!
You wouldn't believe how LOUD THEY ARE!!! p.s. relatives in New Jersey, one of the most beautiful states in the eastern U.S. Love it! Especially the Fireflys/Lightning bugs, and GREAT food, rich deeps forests. I'm not in great health lately, but I'm going back, I've gotta. (Hello Phillipsburg, too.)
Our Parrots are intersting in that many often say.... "like squawk, squawk, dudes". Take care my friend.

Actually I would understand. My parents had an Amazon for years and that single bird could split your eardrums with his screeching so I can imagine that times a lot of parrots.

I've also been to many Parrot shops which is an experience in itself. :-)

They can be very intelligent and funny too which is fun to watch.
