$336.4 million Powerball jackpot unclaimed
YACOLT, Wash., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Several parrots who migrated to the Yacolt, Wash., area now have their very own custom-built, 30-foot-high nesting platform.
Joy Tindall spearheaded the project to get the parrots off a utility pole transformer platform that was dangerous for them to live on, The (Vancouver) Columbian reported Monday.
"They've been really happy -- watching us all day," Tindall said, pointing to the platform next to her back yard.
Tindall and a group of bird lovers installed the first of several 30-foot-high nesting platforms to lure the 20 or so parrots in town away from Clark Public Utilities property.
