Jardin des Plantes
One would think that this green parrot (?) had escaped
from an enclosure, a pen. However, we sighted
an entire flock of them, numbering 12 or more.
They enjoyed the November berries immensely.
Is Paris temperate enough to support
what I imagine to be a tropical species?
UPDATE:
"If you have ever spotted apple-green birds the size of a turtledove with bright red bills during one of your strolls around Paris, you are neither colorblind nor sleepwalking. You merely sighted one of the many rose-ringed parakeets (Psittacula krameri) that have made Paris and its vast suburbs their home."
