A morning full of parrots

The morning was full of parrots
They clambered over chairs
many perched amongst the maples
and through the windows they did stare
their incessant voices calling
their colours deep and and bright
I wondered how long they had been there?
had they been out there all night?
it was bedlam on the verandah
it was getting messy on the deck
all so they could have a gander
the new occupants they came to check
would we feed them like they were used to?
or leave them to their own means?
were they welcome to visit regularly?
or was that just a parrot dream?

    • It is actually an old photo from when we bought, but I’d never thought to write about it before. These are King Parrots. They are vivid in colour and friendly by nature. We enjoy their company, but let them find their own food. They arrive in numbers when the Japanese Maples in the background of the photo are seeding. Win win!
