A Good Day For Birds, Part 1

I visited the Amazon basin today. No, wait, it was Anna Maria Island. But you couldn't tell it from all the parrots I spotted in the top of this tree. These guys aren't native to the area, but they have established colonies in the warmer areas of Florida. I'm normally not a fan of exotic species on the loose, but these guys might be a good exception. I believe these are called quaker parakeets. I was going to tell you they were Norwegian blues, but I don't think you would fall for that. Anyhow, look closely near the center of the green birds above, and you'll see a grey cockatiel. I don't know what he was doing in there. A few years ago, I got a bird feeder from my parents for Christmas. I always hoped it would look like the one below, but I couldn't be that lucky. I spotted a racoon on it once, but that was about it.
