You may have heard their squawking before or seen their bright green wings sailing above the traffic; there are thousands of wild parrots living in the San Gabriel Valley. Lately, they've been flocking to one of their favorite spots, a preschool in South Pasadena, Calif.
Kimball Garrett, the ornithology collections manager at the LA County Natural History Museum, met with Madeleine outside Calvary Preschool to find out more.
