that swarm of amazons looks just like the swarms of sparrows we get around here in the fall...
to add a pic, these guys:
googling on pics of swarms of sparrows and I discover there are some cool pics on google:
sometimes those wake me up too, since they like to make their nests under roofs. (they enter at the raingutter, so any house where there is room to enter could ber a nestsite, newer better isolated houses are apparently a threat to them since they lose nesting places)and sometimes thety choose the roof of my bedroom. I don't really mind it tough, some other people have the nests removed since they make noise
and another fun fact. inhabitants of the village I live in are also called 'protters', wich is the frisian name for sparrows. (beats sheepheadeaters, I know another village where their nickname is something like that, since the people who lived there used to be mostly very poor , and the sheep's head was the cheapest meat you could get. I have no idea why the nickname of my village is 'protters' tough)
