Parrots!

Parrots!

So Neptina and I were on our way home to her place this afternoon when we decided to take a walk in the park next to her place. That was when the sound of animal screeches could be heard from a distance, and it didn't sound like anything we've ever heard before. She thought they were crows that hang around the neighborhood every once in a while, and I thought it was a particularly ferocious mating session between two cats. As we got closer to investigate the source of the sound, it sounded like lambs being slaughtered for a religious ritual or something like that. That was when Neptina noticed the parrots on the tree, chained to the branches and screaming their bird heads off. We were completely drawn to the birds that we pretty much stood there for almost an hour, just watching them bite tree barks and poop. I have this thing for animals, this strange ability to stare at them for hours on end. Neptina wondered how it was possible for everybody else at the park to go about their things and not be completely mesmerized by the animals up in the trees. A feather came off one of the parrots, and we picked it up to bring it home afterwards - it's gorgeous! Anyway, the parrots belong to an old lady, who later on brought another breed of parrot to the park and placed it on the tree as well. Videos to be uploaded soon!
