Hi Tweeters,

It's a truism that you never know what you're going to see next
in, or from your yard. About 6 minutes ago I stepped outside my house,
heard this weird squawking noise and then observed 3 Rock Dove-sized birds
flying rapidly, squawking as they flew, over my house. They were definitely
some parrot-type bird, with tails almost as long as their bodies and rapid
downward wingbeats. Any ideas what kind of parrot I might have seen? Did
anyone lose a trio of pets?

Happy birding! Charlotte Byers, Seattle
