This is an old photo, but one I like. The correllas flock together in groups of about a hundred, to hang out and make a lot of noise. It looks like they're eating the seeds but usually they're just pretending. They like to carry the seed pods up to the power lines above cars, then hurl them down as hard as they can and sometimes it seems like they're competing to see who can make the loudest noise... Occasionally one of them throws so hard they fall off the wire and either scrambles back up, or flies down to the ground so it looks like they did it on purpose...

how very strange! do you think that they are trying to bomb the cars or something?
I think they like the noise - they all squawk away like mad when there's a good 'bonk' and they don't do much at all when the seed pod hits the glass, or misses the car entirely..
I watched them for quite a while and it looks like they just do it for fun...
