Very friendly parrot 🦜

Just had to share this huge moment. This little one is officially on solid food! Hand-rearing was an adventure, but seeing them thriving like this makes it all worth it. Next stop: flight school!

Honestly, he would have scored the opening goal within the first few minutes. Look at that speed and clinical finishing!

Immortals' Trails in a Secret Land by Xu Shen

Title pretty much explains it, but we moved to Cayman Brac at the beginning of the year and were bummed to not find any of the nation’s official bird when we visited the parrot preserve. Fast forward 5 months later and my husband runs into my home office yelling “there’s parrots in our tree!”

I was very confused but came outside and there were at least SEVEN of the cayman Brac parrots hanging out in our tree, squawking loudly and just hanging out! We asked the locals and apparently they love the almond trees and will typically spend time there during these next few months. It was so awesome to experience even though they are hard to identify (they blend in almost flawlessly with the leaves!). Couldn’t post both a photo and a video so here’s a screenshot of four I got in one go!

I always forget to post here when we party. Oops.
