Flock of what?


This is a picture of a swingset in my parents back yard. Can you make out what type of birds are perched on it? I will give you a hint.. these little green birds are more commonly seen in bird cages in people's homes. My dad discovered them foraging amongst the leaves in his backyard and called me out in time for us both to snap some pictures of them. They were not easy to see at first, you really had to know what you were looking for. Great catch dad!

Here is another shot to show you just how well these little ones were camouflaged.

Have you guessed what they are yet? Lovebirds!! A flock of at least 8 or 9 of them have made my parent's neighborhood their home. Both of these pictures were taken in Mesa, Arizona.
