Two green parrots perched at the top of a palm, swaying in the breeze, on a sunny day in Pasadena California. If you have ever visited Pasadena California and heard a sudden shrieking, it may be a flock of little green parrots flitting past! Making their way across blue skies dotted with swaying palm trees these noisy birds make their presence known. While the origin of these non native birds is somewhat of a mystery, their daily migrations have become a familiar sight.
