Take wing with red-crowned parrots in this inspiring true story of animals adapting to an urban environment far from their native habitat, perfect for animal lovers and anyone who has ever needed to find a new home. They squawk.
They screech.
They swoop from palm trees to power lines. In sunny California, the chatty red-crowned parrot is a part of daily life. Every day, thousands of parrots soar above city streets, cackling and clamoring. They swipe fruit from gardens. They flap over pools and parking lots. They alight on branches where parrots did not always belong. How did these urban parrots, native to the rugged slopes and wooded canyons of Mexico, find themselves so far from home? How did they form new communities and find new ways to thrive? This true story of animal adaptation and finding new places to belong is an inspiring example of resilience and resourcefulness in the natural world--and within us all.
