An African Grey Parrot
Early this morning, we could hear a ruckus outside of our bedroom window: It sounded like monkeys in the Flame Tree. We have had monkeys in our yard before, but our three dogs usually encourage them to move along quickly. But not this morning -- we could hear the monkey for over an hour as we made coffee, breakfast and got everyone ready for the day. Heading out the door for school, we looked up into the trees and, to our surprise, discovered that the monkey noises weren't monkeys at all, but two wild African grey parrots having breakfast in our trees.
We locked up the dogs and spread out some fruit in our yard for them. We would love it if the parrots stuck around and nested in our trees, but sadly they are most likely just passing through. We'll let you all know if they are still there when we return home.
