If ever there is a P-Patch which reflects its neighborhood, it's Ballard, a microcosm of Scandinavian heritage. The garden setting, with its view of Puget Sound is a reminder of a Scandinavian vista. Most P-Patches have resident bird populations. Their colorful swoops through the garden are eye-catching against the background of tasseling corn, but they seem incongruous.
Parrots seem more suited to palm trees, warm climates, and pirate ships.
These must undoubtedly be rare Scandinavian parrots, perfect for pine trees, rainy weather, fishing boats and Ballard.
