Los Angeles 2


must have: an immediate visual on the fierce and frightened squawking coming from the trees outside

puce flash and a blustered rounded head… the neighborhood crows were battling renegade parrots in a turf war:  90 minutes from tree to tree to tree


it is not uncommon to see trees full of tropical birds in Los Angeles 

they get let go and find each other in the eucalyptus trees…pet stores go out of business maybe

can you imagine how absurd it would be to be a parrot and then have to fight a crow? and they just go on living

crows lightly gallop along the ground and when they fly they swoop...their neck feathers are glossy and glamorous

a group of crows are called a murder surely because they sound like they are murdered
