Parrot Pair

Their colors match the plant and berries so well that if they didn't make any noise it would be very easy to not notice them.

Happy Easter!

Greg, Gail and I were walking our old neighborhoods where we grew up, and we stumbled upon a flock of wild parrots in a park on Vallejo Street near Russian Hill. They were feasting on berries right in front of us, and they stayed there for an unusually long time allowing us to observe and photograph them.

The last time I was up close with the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill was when Steve R. came to visit, and that was a few years ago already. It is an extremely rare privilege and treat to be able to see them up close and personal like this. It really made our day.

This is just one picture. When I have time, I will post a set to my gallery site.

p.s. Steve visited in April 2009, I just looked it up.
