"The birds (Nanday parakeet, Red-crowned parrot, and Lovebird) were inspired by my favorite miracle described in The Augsburg Book of Miracles: in Italy during the year 73 CE ‘tame animals returned to the wild’ (see attached). Today, parrots and parakeets that escape captivity have established sustaining feral populations in cities all over the world, sometimes wreaking havoc in local ecosystems. Personally, I've seen green parrots in parks in Paris, London, Los Angeles and New Orleans, as well as a lone escaped Budgie in my neighborhood in Nashville." - R.W
