About 50 wild parrots live in the tall trees of La Palma. During daylight, the colorful birds migrate a half mile south to Pearson where they spend the afternoon calling to each other. At sunset they return to La Palma. Parrots aren't native to Southern California and the ones that have been spotted are all different types. Tindall speculates they are pets that have escaped over the years, found each other and started their own little community.
Parrots eat fruit, nuts, leaves and even a few insects.
There may be an insect they like to eat at Pearson that only comes out during the day. Owning the Parks During the second and third trips the children take a role in maintaining the beauty of the park. Activities include cleaning the planting beds of trash and debris and planting colorful displays of seasonal flowers. They also look at the devastating impact of vandalism. Armed with beige paint, brushes and smocks, the students tackle graffiti.
