Amazing. So fabulous to see large flocks climbing and flying and vocalizing. And yes, it does remind me of my mixed 'flock' of Congo + Timnehs - when one starts up the noisemaking, the others tend to join in. :-)
This reminds me I need to put the new blog into my RSS reader. I miss the parrot posts.
