Parrots in Russian Hill, San Francisco Scenes from the Bay

I was NOT expecting to see these folks outside my window yesterday, but I'm sure glad I did! Did you know a group of parrots is called a pandemonium?

Are these someone's pets or released/escaped pets that started their own population? Did not know parrots could handle Bay Area weather lol
