I am lucky enough to work in one of the Embarcadero Centers, and these fabulous birds stop by every day, usually in the afternoon, to provide a concert. We often have visitors in our reception area who comment on the delightful parrots, and I'm happy to now be able to give a little more info to stimulate their interest. Chloe Hi, Richard!
