There's a flock of parrots in Zoe's backyard! No one knows where they came from, but they aren't as big a surprise as the sight of Zoe's mother, who has just arrived from California.

She wants Zoe to move back home with her - something Zoe has been waitin.

I really liked the image of a flock of parrots living in the trees of an eastern town. It would be a great thing to see.
