Carolyn Bullock received a call from a man in Cordova, TN about three strange birds that were coming to his feeder. We went to see them and, of course, they didn't show up. Today he emailed us some pictures and with the help of The Handbook of the Birds of the World, (I know all those volumes would come in handy some day), they turned out to be Yellow-collared Lovebirds (Agapornis personatus) from Tanzania. So if anyone is missing some very handsome lovebirds, please let us know. Could they have possibly escaped during the hurricane?
