An Awesome Sight

Imagine hearing a chorus of parrots. Outside your kitchen windows. And then seeing a dozen tall green parrots adorn the tree in your front yard.

That's what I experienced occasionally when I lived in Northridge.
Many years ago Busch Gardens had a lovely venue in Van Nuys, California. The home of the brewing company was also home to a park with birds, rides, and beer pavilions. When the recreational area closed, the birds must have been let free.

Amazingly, some not only survived but thrived.

Should you ever visit Southern California and venture into the San Fernando Valley, look up. You, too, might witness this awe-inspiring spectacle.
