There is a well-known flock of wild parrots on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. Some time ago, several parrots escaped, then the nature took over. A movie was made about them, and they are hard to miss, because they fly up and down Embarcadero all the time.

What is less knows is that there is also a flock of wild parrots in Sunnyvale.

In the park, they fight with crows. A team of four crows can kick the whole flock's butt. We root for the crows.
