Google says it’s a parrot. Woodpeckers are not so colorful but both are too noisy. Thanks, Art.

You got me addicted to the challenge of writing them. They DO drone on and on. Annoying loud mouthed creatures. Thanks, David.

your Monoku made me smile. Parrots can be annoying. My aunt had one and one for about 2 weeks...drove her crazy. Clever write

Thanks, Sara. Never had a parrot but did put up with a pair of cockatiels for a few weeks.
