The Cleveland Botanical Garden is on the east side of Cleveland and is host to many beautiful varieties of plants, but it also houses a few very interesting animals. These include chameleons and finches, and also parakeets.
The parakeets greet visitors as they come in. They have a tall cage that allows plenty of flying, along with some real branches for perching and a painted waterfall background. This picture gives a good look at four of the five birds, although the cage bars prevent a totally clear view.
