Hi all! I just discovered this forum, and was wondering if anyone had any advice.

I live in New Orleans (Uptown), and pre-Katrina we had some wild parrots around, and after the storm they've multiplied like crazy. We've got bunches around the neighborhood now. In particular, they like this damaged tree that's in the yard behind ours; Katrina stripped the leaves and killed the branch, so they can see far and wide. What we'd like to do is lure them closer- not to trap them of course, but just to watch them.

We've put out a larger feeder with parrot food, fruit treats, etc. Any other suggestions would be truly appreciated. I even talked to the chick (har har) at PetCo about this, and she looked at me like I was crazy. "You know, we sell those birds. You could walk out of here with it right now and not worry about those wild ones..." lol

If you want to see more pics, I've got a bunch on my blog- http://noteworthyinnola.com
