Taken Spring of 2012. Point and shoot camera with Gorillapod attached to an SUV outside of an autoparts retailer I deliver to every morning.

These birds (Parrots, I think) would come to this mirror EVERYDAY from about 7 to 10:30 a.m. for a YEAR AND A HALF and play, unless the weather was shitty. Originally it was just the male, but after a few months a female started to show up as well. Luckily I took this footage when I did as shortly after, the owner of the vehicle moved it, and the birds never, ever, came back

Here's what goes on... Papa bird comes and watches. Being that I was fiddlin' around the mirror with the camera earlier they were hesistant this day to play while we unloaded freight. You'll hear me start the truck in order to get the birds to think we're leaving. The male's whistle changes to a different sound, and WAA LAA, here comes mama bird to rock out to reflections as well. What they are actually doing I do not know, an interview was declined.

Fun Fact: That mirror was right covered in bird shit every week.
