Maybe no one will read this, but just in case, there are wild parrots that live in Redlands, California, the city next to Loma Linda. They called to my husband the evening he was dying. It was really special. I was told they were Mexican parrots, but I don't know. There is a flock in Anza-Borrego also. I don't know how they survive in the desert. kittykittykitty
