About the artwork

I found this collared parakeet in a flowering prunus on the Cramwinkelplantsoen in Purmerend. It sat higher up in the tree and kept plucking flower after flower from the tree before dropping them. No idea why. He didn't eat them. But he took them away and kept dropping them. He was not alone by the way. There were three others, doing exactly the same thing. Big job and maybe they realised that was a hopeless task, because after a while all three flew away. In that neighbourhood, there are three roughly equally tall prunuses, each heavily flowering. This collared parakeet just had a flower in its beak when I photographed it.
Collared parakeets are beautiful exotic birds. Originate from Africa and India, north of the equator. They were ornamental birds in the 1960s, but escaped and became feral and appear to be able to hold their own in the colder Dutch climate. They usually fly in groups and you can hear them hooting from afar, as they squawk quite a lot. And they eat prunuses bare, I now know.
