Observation details
First there was one small parakeet working kapok pods in tree between wetlands and SW 65th. Saw the floating fluff balls, started looking and found a well-camouflaged green parakeet eating the seeds from the drier pods. Soon joined by five others, all with yellow chevrons. First photo shows how hard these birds can be to spot among the unripe pods. Second photo shows how you can see some lighter yellow feathers in some birds that can appear white. Third photo for overall proportions/structure, and fourth showing the dark seed that these birds were eating.
