Wild Parrots in Northeast Los Angeles

Here you have it, one of my very first attempts to video the wild parrot flocks of Northeast Los Angeles.

Yes, a tripod would help.  But, here's the problem,  I set up the tripod in my back yard, thinking the parrots would go to the persimmion tree in the back, so instead they go to the pine tree in the front.  Or I set up the tripod aiming at my neighbor Edem's tree to the east, so they go to my neighbor Jane's tree to the west instead.

So, I think I'm stuck with hand held.  The video was shot with a Panasonic DMC-FZ18.

Here's a still shot at the same time with the same camera:
