Psittacine In The Morning
Another exotic bird has joined Don Gallo about our homestead. For the past two mornings, we’ve heard and seen some sort of parakeet up in our nectarine tree and flying over from the osage orange a hundred meters distant. I don’t know of any psittacine colonies in Davis, though there are plenty in California. Pica saw some red about his face on an overall green body, which points toward him being a red-masked parakeet or a mitred parakeet, but as a likely escapee, he really could be anything. We won’t know until we get a better look.
