Scarlet Macaw (http://www.fieldguides.com/perumanuwildlife.htm)
Photographer: Paul Thomas
We've had almost 9 inches of rain this month. (How do we know? Careful perusal of the newspaper and observation of the family rain gauge.) This would suggest that we are going to have climate change; we are hoping for rain forest conditions. Imagine the bird-watching opportunities! Australian parakeets (Melopsittacus undulatus) are birds of the dry plains--and we have seen no other psitticines. If the backyard becomes a temperate rain forest, we will surely see parrots. We are hoping for macaws!
