A Parrot in Manchester
Today we ran in the park and fed the birds, not just at home but at 5 other places. Upon returning home we found that there is a green parrot visiting our big tree. It's already winter, it's actually warm for mid-November, but it's probably getting a lot colder this weekend and it is definitely going to get too cold for this parrot, sooner if not a lot later. This parrot must have escaped some home, it's not some thing one finds "in the wild"; we're assuming that someone lost it, knowing it's definitely not some European wildlife species but a tropical species.
This beautiful creature eats fruit from the tree not just today; this is a repeat visitor.
Maybe the parrot - like the white bird (dove, which we've called "Pure") - is a sign of good things, but we worry that a cold winter would be deadly to it. █
