The Parrots of Monrovia
November 9th, 2007 Rachel“What’s that noise?”
This morning Huntington Drive, just west of Shamrock, was taken over by parrots. Yes. Parrots you expect to see in your friend’s parent’s living room…not roaming the streets. Richard gave us a bit of the back story - a pet store owner released the parrots when his storefront caught fire. 20-30 years later you have a full fledged wild colony flock squawking their way around town.
Here are some photos of the little guys. They’re so cute…until it’s your car that gets pelted by pine cones which then sets of the alarm…anyone own a grey Altima?
