There seems to be so many varieties and they live such a different lifestyle depending on the season. In summer, families at the parks feed and feed them--to the point they have no interest in food by afternoon.<br /><br />On winter though, they will about jump in your car when you pull up at the same park--hungry, hungry, hungry!Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-6964011051226645222014-07-17T17:31:05.894-05:002014-07-17T17:31:05.894-05:00Oh he is a beauty!

He was so friendly, and whistled back when I whistled at him. Then when I went to leave he threw a fit and started screeching. Needless to say, I stayed a bit longer.Lisa @ Two Bears Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464839163693785901noreply@blogger.com
