I am going to temporarily forget the fact that my boss sent me 9 emails between the hours of 7 and 8am this morning, and instead write what I had been meaning to p.s. to all of you since my last post....
Despite the unlikelihood of my suspicion, it has turned out to be nevertheless true - parrots are living in the trees outside my apartment!!
On the rare occasion that I was actually able to have a lie in at my apartment in Los Angeles, I would sit there, half awake half asleep, listening to the unusual birds outside my window, and would reminisce of the tropical birds that would serve as my alarm clock in Australia. I kept wishing that it were true; that I was still listing to the songs of the Rosella, and Ibis, and not just another house sparrow or dirty crow. This last weekend, upon returning from an extended stroll through the neighborhood, I turned down my street only to glance up and see two medium-sized green parrots swoop out of one massive palm tree, and into another.
I am smiling just thinking about it.
