When you first walk into the San Diego Safari Park, you'll be greeted by this lovely blue parrot. I love the coloring, especially his eyes and the way he extends his leg while grooming. He's quite impressive and talks with authority as a greeter to the grounds. I'm always thrilled to see him each time I enter the grounds to the huge refuge park in the San Pasqual Valley.
You'll often see this local guy wandering around the Avocado Festival that's held once a year in April. Of course, he's with his companion, a small pet parrot. Such a lovely shade of green and he seems quite loyal to his owner. He's quite popular amongst the crowd.
The red-blue parrots are the noisiest bunch at the park. So demonstrative in displaying their wing span, stretching and squawking so loudly, in such a commanding way!
Parrots are very social and this beautiful white bird was making such complex sounds!
These parrots live safely and socially with their group. I was so fortunate to see so many of them at one time. I was pleasantly surprised to see them at the Del Mar Fair. If you're interested in teaching your parrot to talk, you might enjoy www.2ndchance.info/parrottalk.htm
