Wild Parrot Makes Ruckus in Walnut Tree

Wild Red-Crowned Parrots are occasional spring visitors to our backyard loquat tree, but tonight at about 7:15 there arose such a clatter that Bradley, Violet, and I sprung from our house to see what was the matter.

 

This fellow was in the walnut tree that borders our back yard carrying on with mucho gusto. I started snapping pictures, Violet started barking her head off (she's too short to have been able to see the bird), and our neighbor started chatting it up with Bradley about the bird, some baby opossums, and what-not. 

The parrot seemed to care only enough to give us a few glances before he eventually flew off, making as much racket down the block as he had been here.
