When you hear and see the parrots of Los Angeles do you ever wonder where they’re headed? Roosting sites are a wonderful way to observe a flock of parrots and parakeets gather during winter evenings. We launched the Free-flying Los Angeles Parrot Project (FLAPP), where we’re looking closely at the DNA of Red-crowned Parrots and Lilac-crowned Parrots and collecting community science observations along the way. Native to opposite coasts of Mexico, the Red-crowned Parrots and Lilac-crowned Parrots never meet but here in the city they mingle, hybridize, and roost together!

You are cordially invited to a celebration of objects, performance, and prose featuring William Leon Dawson’s The Birds of California volumes, first published one-hundred years ago in 1923. In his writings, Dawson captured a comprehensive scope of complete, scientific, and popular accounts of the “vividly contrasting and kaleidoscopic” bird life found here in the Golden State.
