INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

This is a talk with Google AI about the Nandays of Malibu Creek State Park.

THE NANDAYS OF MALIBU CREEK STATE PARK

Dear Ones,

I asked Google AI: Are there nandays with blue breasts and blue tails and orange leggings in Malibu Creek State Park that don’t talk much? Are these Nandays or some similar bird?

Google AI said: Yes, wild Nanday conures (Aratinga nenday) reside in Malibu Creek State Park. They have green feathers, a black mask, bluish chests, long blue-tipped tails, and reddish-orange “leggings” (thighs). While typically known for being noisy, they may appear quieter depending on the time of day, as they often forage in flocks in sycamore trees. 

Key Details About These Birds:

• Appearance: They are predominantly green with a black face, a blue-tinged chest, and distinctive, bright orange/red feathers on their thighs.
• Location: They are common in the Santa Monica Mountains, including Malibu Creek State Park, Point Mugu State Park, and the surrounding areas like Newbury Park and Conejo Valley.
• Behavior: They are not native to California but are established, introduced populations. They are social birds that often travel in loud, screeching flocks.
• Confusion: If they seemed “quiet,” you likely saw them during a resting or feeding phase. They are indeed Nanday conures (also known as Black-hooded Parakeets) and not a similar species, as they are well-documented in that specific area.

CONCLUSION

Dear Ones, I made a video on 11 February 2026 in which the Nandays at Malibu Creek State Park were unaccustomedly quiet. I saw one of them grasping a stalk of California wild oats and eating the oats one by one.

I see from Google AI this was because The Nandays were eating when the video was filmed.

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

NOTES: I left the double quotes off of the beginning and end of Google AI’s response, and kept the double quotes as is within the responses. You will know by the light blue font that these are quotes from Google AI.

If you see purple font, that is being used for a term described in “More Information.”

Through sparing use of square brackets, I sometimes change the transcript very slightly.
