Parrots were very interesting birds to see in the wild, most of them forming large flocks that really liked these plants that made those little edible pods. Living in the US, most of the big flocks of birds that we see are sparrows or pigeons, and neither of those form the sorts of massive flocks that parrots do. To do see a huge flock like that, that is brightly coloured, and making all sorts of tweeting noises reminds one of when Twitter gets into a photo fight.
