Some Exotics in Israel

Our life here in Israel may look pale and routine comparing to Ofer's life right now, but sometimes interesting things happen here too. Even some exotic birds visit us from time to time, and it turns out that you don't have to go to SA or Australia to do birdwatching - sometimes all you need to do is to look out of the window:

A whole flock of those green parrots come every day around 2 o'clock to pick on some berries just below our kitchen window.
This reminded me of another picture I took 6 years ago:

Same berries, another bird. This is a dyed pigeon, who must have escaped some circus or wedding or whatever. Didn't have a blog back then to post this picture, so doing it now.
