There are wild parrots that migrate around LA. When I worked near downtown we'd have them around for a while and then they would move on to another neighborhood. One day I noticed a tree that was especially green and leafy for the trees in the area. Then I realized it wasn't leaves, it was bright green parrots.

The apartment building next to our parking lot was USC student housing. So it was amusing when the parrots were in residence because no one could sleep past dawn with all that racket.
