Parakeets in my Garden

A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!
Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
My parents kept these things as pets when I was a kid. Those ones were awful. Screeching bloody murder day and night. They'd bite if you tried to handle them. And they didn't sing, they just shrieked like goddamn banshees. Just awful creatures.
They are pleasantly colorful, though, from far enough away.
lol ya i'm quite happy that they're living in the garden, not in my kitchen.
Somebody on my block used to have a grey parrot, oh my god it was so loud, it was imitating the other birds around. Took me a few days to figure out who actually made these sounds, i first thought it was just some neighbour being funny.
