They come from the Arcadia Arboretum. The birds were originally imported from India by Elias Baldwin, the City of Arcadia founder, at the turn of the century. They've reproduce and now roam free in and around the Arboretum.
You're not allow to pet or feed them though, there's a huge fine if the police catch you.
