The Colony at Gilmore Park


A flock of talkative Brazilian parrots have migrated to Gilmore Park and made it their home. The noisy nest builders were yakking away this morning as Stan and Birdie walked beneath, unsure of what all the fuss was about. The resident expert on her morning stroll was quite sure of the Brazil story. She didn't know if they were speaking in Portugese, however.
We'll see if we can get confirmation and identification today at the nearby Audubon Aviary.
Perhaps they're not migrants. . . just escapees.
Gilmore Park is a neighborhood association just down from the Patois Restaurant at Webster and Laurel.
They've claimed this palm and are building an active community here.
