There is a wild flock of parrots that come to see me around this time of year.
They stopped by today! They’re rambunctious little fuckers so this was the only half decent video I could get.

Solstice blessings to you 🤩🤩 sweet birdos. I love it!
That’s how it feels. They’re so freaking cool. Full of personality 🫂
They are a noisy bunch, 100s of them hang out around local town this time of year also 😍
Yup. There’s a lot more not in the frame on a tree. I’m kind of glad they’re so fucking loud so I don’t miss them 😂
We get those loud bastards. Big flock too.
I couldn’t get the whole flock in this vid. It’s not big big, but it’s probably at least 10. I love them so much
50 of them are annoying. Luckily they only come by a couple times a year.
Damn. Send them this way, I like the liveliness 😂
Beautiful 😍
I used to visit a friend with a parrot often. It learned to say Mosha's name, and absolutely loved messing with her I think. It was hilarious. Mosha would get all riled up in the beginning, because *bird!*. Once Rocco learned her name she would sit by his cage and do the head turn. You could almost hear the gears turning in her head 😂 He was an old wise bird, older than me 🤯
Omg that’s fucking adorable. My heart would probably melt 😂
How is this bird talking? What is going on? Do I listen to it, or try to eat it? I'm so confused!
The head tilts with limp tongue kills me 😂😂
Train them and make them do your bidding!
I’m gonna try my damndest 🤝
I'm trying to befriend the crows at work, I think they know me now as peanut girl
🫴🥜🐦⬛
My mom has been doing this for years. It’s hilarious. She goes outside and starts cackaa-ing, they all come and she throws peanuts at them😂
The neighborhood calls her “the crazy crow woman”
Competition, who can get the god forsaken birds to do the coolest thing.
Goals. I want the neighbours to look at me with suspicion and whisper that I'm a witch 🧙♀️🐦⬛
Green bird army just looks cooler
Oh I admire her for it. She’s living her best life 😂
I don’t know if they’re as smart. I’ve never trained a bird before. I have once trained a squirrel 🤷♀️
Whaaaaat🤯thats so cool what did the squirrel do?
I've been dropping a coin into a jar when it's peanut time but no success yet💁♀️
Why didn’t I think of this before: train your bird army to find lost cash in exchange for treats.
I want more @Noshole training squirrels lore. I've only ever been able to hypnotize them with the wiggle your arm like a squirrel tail trick.
They love peanuts 😂
That one is harder. My mom tried that one too and hasn’t been successful as of yet
It's either they go get money for me, or I train them to yell at my enemies 😏
I saw this video of a guy hiking with his crow, it brought him euros, stuffed it into his bag and flew off. Super cool. It was a rescued crow though, and those are easier to train because they think they owe you one
Thank you for the pro tip, so do crows 🥰
But be careful befriending crows, they'll follow you around and tap you on the shoulder if you're not quick with the peanuts 🐦⬛🥜🐦⬛
I heard about this story where some high school kid was like throwing shit at a crow and it somehow told all the crows and they would pick on him 🤭
Oh yes, they tell all the other crows who the arsehole is. They tell stories across generations too apparently
That’s so rad! I love crows so much
Yeah. Fuck with a crow one time and their descendants haunt you for life 😂
They're hilarious but too smart 🤣
When Princess Aurora was little she would bring her toys out on the balcony, and the crows would steal them. Then they would drop them on my head when I was blocks away taking Aurora on a walk. Then they'd crow-laugh at me.
It happened multiple times so I know it was on purpose. Caw-caw-dickheads 🤣🐦⬛🤣
Omg that’s absolutely magical in a menacey way 😂
Is that you? Have you ever fed by hand?? It's one of my goals
Good advice
Yes it's me, yes I've fed them by hand if you count that they got bold enough to just mug me and take the peanuts out of my hands before I threw them 🤣
The do bring you random treats though. I got little green army men, coins, and a squirrel head set on my Vespa outside my apartment at various times. I assumed it was the crows although maybe it was just a stalker 🤷♀️
It was a strange time in my life 🤣
I did become known as the crazy crow lady which was part of my become a witch retirement plan though, so #goals 😁
So what’s your advice for me if I want to train them find lost cash
How’s the witch retirement going
I would be so excited to get tapped on the shoulder by a crow 😍
Pick a spot put a dollar there, then put a peanut or other high value treat on it. Do it several days in a row, then don't do it. The crow will try and make the treat appear by making a dollar appear.
I need more money for my yurt so not quite retired yet, but will be able to call upon the corvids when I do
lol that is brilliant
We want updates as this develops.
But also they're birds 🤷♀️ they gave me monopoly money
I am going to walk out there in the morning like a complete fool with a wad of dollar bills in one hand and a handful of live mealworms in the other.
See you think that until it's a regular occurrence 🤣
That’s okay I’ll take Monopoly money. Gotta start somewhere.
It's what I say when I get my fiat paycheck 🤣
😭
Caw!Caw!Caw!
This is actually a useful power. Did you see the movie Weapons recently? I want that but with birds.
No I haven’t, is it good?
Yeah it’s good. Just enough scary to make you laugh.
The best part about this video is the car is parking at the one spot that has a no parking sign.
Sounds like something my husband would wanna watch
If he’s the kind of people that laughs at scary movies. It’s perfect.
I would be frightened, no doubt! But I've loved crows since I was a little kiddo and I have fed them regularly. They've never gotten so close to me though! You might be a special one. I'll have to see if I can make friends with the ones here... we recently moved and so they don't know me. Peanuts.... gonna have to try!
I used to have a flock of squirrels I fed on my lunch breaks with acorns. Even had one that'd climb on my pant leg for 'em.
It confused the crap out of people when I'd be out without my acorns and 15 squirrels would follow me around the park...
Awww look at that happy little fucker
This is amazing 🤩
It sounds weird but try talking to them telepathically 🧙♀️🪄🐦⬛
They had good memories too. Showed up a year later and a bunch still recognized me.
I'm fairly certain if I returned to the PNW the crow empire would immediately know me and demand their tribute like the IRS if they found out I forgot to file taxes for years 🤣
Yea crows are known to have LOONG memories.
I want ravens, ever since reading Kill Decision...
Just carry around a bag of acorns or peanuts and toss them. Distances start long at first but if you're patient they'll eat from your hand. City squirrels are MUCH easier. Doesn't hurt if you can make the sound they make, they get curious.
It's hard to weird me out with that 🤠 I will try!
If you ever want to talk more about telepathy with crows let me know hmu in the DMs 🤣🐦⬛🥰
