I see dozens of parrots almost every time I leave the house, but I can’t imagine a time when seeing them won’t put a smile on my face. I guess it’s an el lay thing to be cynical and act like you dgaf about anything. But amidst all the awful stuff happening everywhere, the parrots are happy to be a constant joy. #parrotjoy
@Jgbird For a few years, I lived in a place in Germany where rose-ringed parakeets were flying through the evening sky in the dozens. Despite their screeches sounding rather bad compared to other birds’, despite their excrements everywhere, despite having had a bad day, I know and can share your joy seeing their fighter-jet-like glide through the city canyon.
@Jgbird When I was a child those guys hadn't escaped from their cages yet, and I never saw them. I envy you, although I do understand why people hate them. I have four in my house currently.
@Jgbird
We don't have them in new england, but I visited Barcelona once and parrots-in-palm-trees were everywhere, it was great. (It is on my bucket list to go to Australia and confirm that Lorikeets are actually a real thing :)
