Are L.A.'s parrots getting louder? We investigate
Briefly

That the parrots of Los Angeles are loud is an indisputable fact.The voluble squawks, warbles and trills of the colorful non-native birds (descendants of those originally imported from Mexico as pets that were freed or escaped) have been part of the SoCal soundtrack for more than half a century.The volume of their vocalization has been chronicled in the pages of The Times as far back as the early 1960s, and it's the rare account of the feathered fauna that doesn't mention the cacophony that accompanies a pandemonium of parrots (yes, that's the appropriate collective noun for a group of them).
