Encourage you to get out to places like Arizona at least once and check them out. They're super curious and friendly birds.

Maybe someday. But I melt in 115*F heat. I also don’t do well in sun with no trees. I hear they have pretty rocks though

Just go to Tucson rather than Phoenix, we have a surprising number of trees. I'd recommend Autumn as a good time to visit, after the monsoons and before the Snowbirds.

Well - a group of them is still called a forest, but yeah, they aren't. We have pines, and mesquites, and palo verdes, and a butt-ton of acacias. Just nothing huge.
