Carlie is very musical. She is a trained pianist. Not only does she have “perfect pitch”, but loves music of all instruments, man-made or natural. Carlie first heard their chirps when walking through the local park. “Oh my word, what was that sound? Did someone’s pet parrot take flight to the friendly skies of freedom? Hmmm!”. Carlie looked upwards and to her surprise saw several green birds swarming above her. “Wow! It looks like the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill!”, she yelped in amazement. It just so happens the San Francisco’s famed cherry-headed conures, immortalized in a movie and book, have moved westward to Cole Valley. Carlie was so thrilled to have more music added to her new neighborhood, that she ran home, and played a CD of Maria Callas.
