A few days ago we were overtaken by a mega-flock of parrots, hundreds of them arriving in the garden in the late afternoon.
They were after something blooming in the conifers here--
And as they ate, they discussed and argued--
...in those parroty voices that sound like ripping sheet metal.
Until this hawk sailed by. Everyone went silent for a second, then flew away.
