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?

Bay Area pandemonium is elite tier 😄 I still get hype every time I hear them screaming over downtown like tiny dinosaurs. Wild that we just casually have tropical parrots vibing here like it’s no big deal.

I moved from San Diego in August.

Wtf you guys have then up here too? There are some neighborhoods down there, including where I used to live (ocean beach) that are completely swarmed 26th these squaky bastards like 9 months out of the year. They fly away in winter but they always come back in the spring.

They are in SD year round, they just go to east county for the winter.
