I didn’t find a great variety of bird life in Barcelona, but the birds I did see had some great urban attitude.
A pigeon grooming herself on a martyr?
This Monk Parakeet knew that I wanted his photo and was not going to have it. After some chasing I captured this. He was the only one with a tag around the neck. I have no idea why.
Gaudi is not the only one to build fantastic structures in Park Güell. A loud and colorful band of Monk Parakeets build these enormous, fantastical nests in the palm trees there.
We ate lunch on a bench below this tree, where a very hungry young parakeet was squawking for his food.
We only had cheese and cherry pits, but luckily someone came with something good to eat!
A satisfied pair. Notice the family resemblance!
