Amazona viridigenalis
August 8, 2006: Santa Ana College, Orange County, CA
We saw these naturalized (and countable!) parrots on the college campus when coming to see my sister perform in Our Town. There were a lot of these birds noisily flying overhead or perched on telephone wires. It was definitely an interesting moment when I heard noises that I didn’t expect to hear in southern California, only to look up to find that the pigeons were really psitticines. 🙂
Let me know what you think!
