Last evening Rosie was wondering why our cat was hitting it's head against the window trying to get outside. Simple reason - a gorgeous parrot with green wings, back and tail, yellow collar, black head, thick red beak and white eye-ring was perched on the lawn furniture. It was pretty tame when approached.
A native of Tanzania's brushwood and arid savannas it's probably probably pretty comfortable here. I don't know about winter though.
She was still present this morning. It's certainly neat to see this bird flying around the wild roses with Starlings, Spotted Towhees, and Song Sparrows!
