I think the parakeets are just Rather Assertive to anyone they come across, really :-s
The woodpeckers had made a very nice hole and nested in it for a couple of years, and then the parakeets said yes it was a very nice hole and it would be a pity if anything happened to the woodpeckers nesting in it (as far as I can tell; I don't speak parakeet. But whatever it was they were very emphatic).
Seen the black white and red woodpeckers for the most part, but saw one of the green ones once or twice — think they're less common — but only the black-white-red ones come to the bird feeder.
One of the robins— can't tell the two apart — has graduated to coming to the window and loudly demanding breakfast. It also occasionally demands that you bring the food not just near it, but right into its beak (only once in a while, though. A couple of feet will suffice for tribute usually, then it comes and gets it from you).
Why yes, it does feel very very lockdowny of late around here, and I might be a bit stir-crazy, why do you ask ... :-s
