Great news and WELCOME! Maybe they'll scare away the crows.

Watching the politicians running for President on tv tonight parroting each other, I wonder if those parrots might actually be politicians flying high and making noise - instead of sense.

not just last night--these politicians you speak of have been flocking around making undecipherable noises have been going on for years--the last 7 of which have been extremely raucous. but, it has been going on for years. if you are expressing that these parrots are "politicians" bring back the obnoxious crows. we don't need any more politicians.

The correct name of the delightful movie (and book by Mark Bittner) is The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Here is a website that might be of interest as we wait and see if they take up residence in Menlo Park. I've seen (5 together) and heard them in the Nealon Park area since Friday, September 4th.

True politicians: Making irritating noise, flying above us all, and pooping on our heads.

One guy says he saw wild parrots, but there are no photos, and he can't find anyone else who says they saw them in Menlo Park. Not really news, then, right?
Also, they are "mourning doves," not "morning doves." As in, the cooing sound they make sounds like someone crying mournfully.

I have seen parrots in Palo Alto many times. There was a wild flock of them in the midtown area when I lived there in about 1995. Wouldn't be surprised to see some of them wander as far as Menlo Park. Once I saw them eating fruit in a neighbors tree. I was pretty close up that time, but other than that, I've only seen them from far below. They seen to like to roost and fly way up high.

Heard and saw the flock today (November 20th) circling between Palo Alto and Menlo Park over the creek. Probably 15 of them. Adding them to my 'frontyard' species list of about 26 species now. I live right on the san francisquito creek in Menlo Park.

All these parrots flying around suggests that there must be lots of pirates now in the area. Has anyone checked their gardens and the creek for these ruffians?
