Yes, I have seen pictures of them. They are a fascinating looking creature. They look like a hybrid between a hawk and a parrot, don't they?

I have always had a special place in my heart for the hawk family and their like. We actually have a pair of hawks in our area here and every year I keep my eyes open for them and their new babies. Always hoping they will drop one of their children on my door step in a basket with an 'adopt me' note attached.

No.....
I couldn't keep something like that, Lori.....
Plus, I have never seen or even heared of these parrots around here.

Just admiring their beauty.

They are super striking.
Agree with the Poinsettia remark!

Princess of Wales parakeets are incredibly lovely as well. One of my favorites.

Love Eastern Rosellas too. They're just so pretty.

You know what's really striking in real life are hyacinth macaws.
They are just such a deep, rich blue and they're HUGE!

I still think they are absolutely stunning. I have yet to see one in real life, but from the pictures, I have to say that their colours are out of this world.

How cold does it get in whichever country your friend lives in?
