Its a Green Thing!
While visiting Parrot Mountain (hopefully you won't get tired of hearing that...), I spotted these pretty little birds up in the tree. They were not in the Secret Garden, and weren't contained in any way. I am SO bad at bird identification, so again, any help will be appreciated. My best guess, based on the Smithsonian Handbook of Birds of North America, is that this is a Green Parakeet. They were just too pretty not to share!
Since I don't know for certain, I will not attempt to provide you with any scientific information on the bird (which I would have to borrow anyway).

Its a nice bird whatever its name is!
We can get hung up on naming things - the name are just an invention - its the bird itself thats the real thing!
