And then they sit there and laugh, squawk-hahaha, squawk-ha! We just moved here from Las Vegas, and this story came to light when we saw a bunch of parrots squawquing on the telephone line behind our house.

Mike Knox of Pasadena, Ca on said: I recall four green parrots on San Pasqual, near Cal Tech College, in the s and a large red Mccaw that people kept trying to capture. Over the years the group grew to 16, 24, you get the picture.

Janice of Reseda, California on said: I've seen the green parrots every year for the past 10 years in the very large tree in the yard next door. The flock is about 50 to 80 strong and very loud. I look forward to watching then every day while they are in the backyard.

Some mornings they wake me up. When they take flight the noise and the sight is wonderful. I was born and raised in East LA. Parrots make great pets and I grew up having parrots. We would occassionally see parrots flying around the neighborhood, but just thought they had escaped. Not until recently, my fiancee at the time, lived in Rosemead, CA and I noticed the flock of parrots flying all around the San Gabriel Valley Area.

These parrots have migrated and expanded to several places in Southern Calif. I've witnessed them as far as South LA I work as a teacher there. I love seeing them and am in awe to see them flying around freely.

My first reaction was to try to catch them and cage them. But, seeing them flying and squawking, makes me appreciate them more. Steve Herrera of Reseda, California on said: Flock of about 40 or 50 keep flying around my neighborhood.

Just landing on big leafy trees. Leaving food out hopefully they find a home here to stay. Anonymous of La Verne, Ca on said: I saw these birds in la Verne on Jack of South Pasadena, California on said: I hear hundreds of these green parrots EVERY afternoon around p. They flock to the trees right outside my house and the Calvary Presbyterian church off of Fremont and Oxley. Sometimes they are SO loud, it stops people from walking, driving their cars, or dropping their kids off at the church's school.

It's pretty cool to see them and I've grown used to it by now, but WOW. IToday just herd that flock of parrotts my husband and my 8yr old daughter kept talking about that fly over this area. I herd them and ran outside to my amaze to see a flock of these parrots Annonynous from Gale Ave. It is a cloudy Saturday morning. This is the first time I see a green parrot in my backyard ash tree. I've noticed them in town since last February. I recognize the squawking from my job in South Pasadena same birds.

Rich Martinez of Pasadena, CA on said: About 10 years ago, I found a yellow headed amazon on out front lawn and it appeared to be injured or sick. I captured it in a box and fed it fruit and nuts for a few days and we came quite attached to eachother. Within a week, I was hand feeding the bird we named Puka.

My two children and I became very fond of our "pet". We made several attempts to let it go back in to the pack of Pasadena parrots but it always wanted to come back to us - landing on our arm!

After 8 months of attempting to release this bird to freedom, Puka finally met a mate -so as we know, and and sad at was, he was gone, as he should be - in the wild - with all his friends and family!

Karen of Lakeside, Ca on said: I couple a weeks ago I noticed some very loud sqwaking outside of my window in the morning. I'd never heard birds make that noise around here before. Then yesterday morning I heard them again I went to my balcony and saw a bunch of green and red birds hanging out in the trees in front of my apartment. I was definitely surprised, I had no idea there were tropical birds in SoCal. Even though they are very loud I kind of like them. The large flock of all-green parrots are loud but I no longer see pigeons or crows!

Interestingly, one parrot sits on the telephone line as a lookout for about a minute just before sunset when they return to a large tree next door. Nicole of Burbank, CA on said: There is a flock of about 15 green parrots in my neighborhood in Burbank.

They've been hanging out on the wires behind my house. It beats the pigeons that were here. Very noisy but beautiful! Dave of Panama City, Fl on said: I lived in Pasadena when the fire in the late sixties happened. We used to visit the pet shop almost weekly.

I became very attached to a macaw that was kept inside the building along with several other birds, reptiles and fish. The macaw was very vocal along with the myna bird. The majority of the parrots that were for sale were kept outside in large iron cages.

I felt like I had lost a friend on that day and still remember it like it was yesterday. This is a link to the latest updated Parrot Project site. They have bred since then, of course; and can survive because we have so many non-native plants here. I think they are beautiful and I like the noise. Medium size and I have several pictures of them. About 40 parrots stop to eat from my sunflower plants this month. Yes, it is cool at first to see something unexpected, like 28 green parrots sitting on your neighbor's roof and the telephone pole across your yard, but after moving to Highland Park 5 months ago, these loud birds are almost unbearable!

Every morning at 5: Why didn't anyone tell me I was moving into an aviary? Do they stick around all year??? They gather in a tree near our bedroom window and squawk obnoxiously before the sun even breaks the horizon.

If this keeps up they are going to get a 12 gauge breakfast. I also once saw about 20 of them marching across Huntington Drive, holding up traffic. I used to live in Pasadena and many would fly over Park near Santa Anita is open to them Get Calif to pass a law protecting them. Pass a Law to protect them NOW Susan of Pasadena, California on said: As I write this there are about of these large beautiful parrots in the huge tree in my front yard!!!

They have been staying there for about two weeks now. Sandy of San marino, Ca on said: We were driving on Huntington drive in San Marino on dec 23 and saw a very large flock of red headed parrots in a tree.

I would estimate 30 to 50 birds and they were extremely loud.

They're the perfect morning alarm Nadyne Wiggins D'Antignac of Upland, CA on said: As a Pasadena native, I have seen the green parrots since the early 's when we used to have "Smog Days" and John Marshall would close during 1st Stage smog alerts. According to my mother, the birds were released during a fire at a pet store in the late '50s. Now as I drive the hellish commute along the from Upland to Burbank, I get all nostalgic when I see the birds!

By the way, what is the average life span for wild parrots?? Darlene of Bakersfield, Ca on said: They are wonderful birds. I watch them all the time. They fly south at night and north in the morning. I just love watching them.

I'm curious where they come from. There are more and more every years. Witnessed over 50 - of these parrots. Litteraly a tree was filled with so many it seemed like leaves blowing.

YVONNE of FULLERTON, CA on said: MMac of Reseda, CA on said: I have heard a flock of loud, "squeaky" birds flying over my house in the mornings and evenings for months now. I never got to see them. This morning they are hanging around in the large trees near my home. They are VERY noisy! Jas of Burbank, CA on said: Today seven green Amazon parrots are from a fruit tree near my home in Burbank.

My only other encounter was in Malibu. They were green too but the ones in Malibu had black beaks. The ones today in Burbank had light brown beaks. There was a small flock around here this week. McKiernan of La Crescenta, CA on said: I live in La Crescenta and there are at least 20 parrots in our area.

It is wonderful to hear them in the morning. We have a lot of Parrots in Burbank. What is funny is seeing them scare away crows.

I think allot of the internet data on the date of Simpson's burning down is incorrect. I wasn't born until and used to visit Simpson's reguarily on Sat. I think the date would have to be or Daniel Mishkit of Woodland Hills, CA on said: Bill of Rancho Cucamonga, Ca on said: My wife and I first encountered the parrotts at the Hunnington Botanical Garden in They have now made it to Rancho Cucamonga. My wife works in Pomona and has heard and seen them in the afternoon as they are on the return trip presumably to their home in the Pasadena area.

We were delighted to see them and of course hear them in our neighborhood. Rob of Pomona, California on said: Our quiet Sunday morning was enlivened by the loud squawking of at least Mexican red-headed parrots, filling the branches of several very tall trees in our neighborhood, and lining up on the power lines. We have never seen anything like them in our area The noise they make is indescribable. I live just east of the pomona fairgrounds.

I believe the movie that someone mentioned is "The Parrots of Telegraph Hill" - so moving and fascinating!

I grew up in Pasadena and I remember seeing parrots in the 's, but just a few. Now there are hundreds at least 13 species in the state!

I see more in November and again in the spring than other times of the year; but I see at least a few year-round. They fly north every morning towards Altadena, and then back south at night to wherever they sleep. The ones now are mostly descendants of those birds. And sometimes there is a cockatoo hanging out with them - which is probably someone's escaped pet. Elisabeth Sadler of Burbank, CA on said: Everyday I see flocks of several dozen green parrots. They fly very fast and in formation and they like to sit in the large trees on my street.

I saw them today chasing a mockingbird; which was interesting because mockingbirds are usually aggressive themselves. Gary of Campbell, California on said: The Parrots in Campbell, Ca. Although squaky they are beautiful.

Joan Birdwell of El Cajon, CA on said: The parrots seemed to have disappeared for a while. I really missed them and began to wonder what might have happened. They are back in El Cajon again. I love to listen to them from an open window in my house.

A little bit of tropical in the Cajon Zone. There are about that have been flying over my house for a week. They probably migrated down from South Pasadena.

They are so loud that I can hear them coming before they fly over my house. They stopped once and roosted on the Carrotwood trees that line the sidewalk and were feasting on the seed pods. They left a prodigious poopy mess on my car parked underneath. They hang around Mid-Valley a lot. Green Parrots arrive every morning at my house.

There are usually about 10 pairs of the parrots and they stay together as pairs but leave in a large flock after feeding and grooming.

Victor of Pasadena, CA on said: We have a parrot that is hanging out outside of our house that seems to be mimicing the sounds of a rainforest. Seriously its just one bird but he makes like 30 different noises! Crickets, song birds, monkeys! It pretty cool actually except he keeps it going ALL night.

I wonder if he grew up in the rainforest. Martin of Pasadena, CA on said: Five or six dozen parrots flew overhead at about pm in a southeastern direction on Sunday, March 01, Near Jefferson Parkin Pasadena, CA - approximately next to Hill Avenue and Villa Street. These were in a large swarm. Yesterday, Saturday February 28, the same flock flew by at about pm in the same Southeastern direction. Although the number of parrots was in two grouping of about twenty each.

I have seen these parrots for about twenty years. They sometimes land on a persimmon tree during the early winter went it bears fruit. But their favorite spot is a pecan tree; it is huge maybe 80 feet in height. They crack open the pecans and make a real raucous. They are a delight to see. Lately, they have been competing with crows for the pecan tree. Reni of Whitmore, California on said: When visiting with my brother and his wife at their home in the foothills of Monrovia, a raucus screaming splits the air early each morning, announcing the arrival of the lime green bombers.

Diving through space in tight formation, the birds enliven the sky with their antics for less than a half an hour before they move on, purportedly to someone else's fruit trees.

I love the show, and it does make one feel as if somehow they have been teleported to somewhere very south of the border. Natalie M of South Pasadena, California on said: Our neighbor has a kumquat tree and every summer the parrots love to sit in it. Last year we had more than parrots in the tree and the phone lines!

Jacques of South Pasadena, CA on said: We get visits from these parrots all the time, typically three times a week!. They're loud and noisy, but definitely a sight to behold. One time I even discovered a broken egg shell from on of their nests on my driveway!

Beautiful tropical birds here in So. Cal, who would've thought. AroundI saw a very large white cockatoo on a power line overlooking the McDonald's in South Pasadena. I assumed it was just an escaped pet. Anyone else ever saw it?

I wonder how long it remained flapping around? Anonymous of Temple City, CA on said: There are always at least 30 of them green one sitting on the power line right outside of my house. Making some loud noises. It's quite an interesting site to see that marry carrots in SoCal. My colleague's version of the same story mentioned the carrots came from a pet shop in Long Beach. Star of San Jose, California on said: There are quite a few parrots in Northern California, too.

Besides the numerous ones in San Francisco, there was a flock of about a half dozen Red Lored Amazons in Campbell, CAand they were breeding. I saw babies with short feathers. One of the adults was one that had gotten away from a neighbor.

Carlynne Allbee of Lakeside, CA on said: The parrots do very well in So. Besides the flocks in Pasadena and San Diego's Point Loma area, east of San Diego you can find parrots in Lakeside and El Cajon. Often at rush hour as you drive through the eastern end of El Cajon, you can hear the large flock as they fly to their roosting trees along I 8.

If you work or live in El Cajon, you can almost tell time by their daily routes, appearing at one place at 4: The local hawks seem to leave them alone. Skip Smith on said: There's a movie about a flock of parrots in San Francisco you should mention here too! San Diego, CA has a HUGE parrot population. They've actually have taken over the privilage of sitting on the phone wires from the local birds. Map Add a Comment!
