Wrong Answers Only: Wild Parrots of LA

Love ’em or hate ’em, the parrots of Los Angeles are here to stay. Or at least that’s what the Free-Flying Los Angeles Parrot Project website says…

Join host Chris Duffy, parrot expert Dr. John McCormack, and our panel of comedians to learn all about our colorful neighbors!
