The whole story of parrots escaping from the airport sound like the plot an kid's movie .

@parrotpirate9648 2 года назад

That’s a damn good movie idea!

@bkm2797 Год назад

It's the same story they tell here in San Francisco about our Mitred Conures or Cherryheads, so I'm a bit suspicious,lol.

@tonybezanson9625 3 года назад

It's a replacement for the Carolina Parakeet. They are just filling the old niche.

I swear when I was a kid in upstate ny I saw a macaw in a big tree in the woods behind our housing track. The bird and I shared a moment. I wasn’t the type of kid to hallucinate things. I asked for a parrot that Christmas but I got a huge kite instead. I would really appreciate the kite now. But I was bummed it wasn’t a parrot like i SPECIFICALLY asked for.

I remember seeing a green bird on a tree in my backyard home in Brooklyn, I later found out that it was a green monk parrot!

@AL-sp2vq Год назад

amazing that they can survive the winter. Chicago also has a large thriving population

@WildManMedia 4 года назад

I agree They may not be indigenous But they aren’t any more damaging than the sparrows in the pigeons who aren’t either I say leave them alone they’ll be fine

@parrotpirate9648 2 года назад

I’m a crazy bird lady and damn proud I hope to come see your parrot tour as soon as possible!

My step dad had a parrot. One of the green pirate kinds and it was a loud obnoxious asshole named “Chico” he didn’t like anyone and would squawk loud if he saw you on the phone and didn’t say “Chico is a pretty bird”

@BeingForeverBroken 4 года назад

It's incredibly sad that they killed the birds.

Well there’s legit ecological reasons to cull invasive species. But at this point urban parrots are here to stay

Parrots are such cute and intelligent little creatures 🦜they actually inhabit so many cities all over the world. We followed two stories with our camera Miami and Stuttgart - really worth checking out!

@howardharaway2259 4 года назад

I would rather have Quaker parrots in N.Y. then pigeons. Pigeons are carriers of diseases. Quaker's do not. Quaker's are highly intelligent, pigeons are dumb compared to parrots. Quaker's are fun and comical to watch. I have 2 and they are hilarious. I wish ALL species of parrot could adapt to northern climate.I would love to have them visit in my backyard. Cockatoo's, A.Greys, Amazons,Conures , lorikeets and so on. It would make peoples lives a lot more interesting for sure !

@chrissparks7439 3 года назад

Well pigeons are still similar to lemur intelligence and parrots are at ape levels of intelligence I guess.

@phoenixman8569 3 года назад

So im guessing Brooklyn does not have cold Canadian like winters, that tropical birds would not survive over here. P.S the little bird in my idendity is a photo of my own cockatiel and i keep him nice and warm during those Canadian cold spots...

@briroc26 3 года назад

I live in queens about 1mile from Brooklyn on the east river . It's not Canada cold all the time but it can and does get below 0 and stay in single digits for days at a time in mid winter. They are quaker parrots ( monk parakeets ) we have hundreds if not thousands of them . You seem them in the snow drinking melting water or eating the salt we throw down. Cool to look at but really noisy

It is the Indian Ringneck Parakeet that is now indigenous to London. In Sussex they live in a huge flock in trees lining Crawley Rugby Club's pitch.

@user-su1xk3mv2b 4 года назад

Are you talking about African grays or parakeets I don’t know because the images you’re showing while you’re telling the stories say otherwise

@deanfirnatine7814 3 года назад

Yep, they never said the species just that they came from Argentina

@mikeydreadmastalski4345 5 месяцев назад

Monk parakeets

Theyve managed to stay cleaner than pigeons.

@raphlvlogs271 3 года назад

parrots are the primates of birds.

@deanfirnatine7814 3 года назад

What kind of parrot is it? you never said, lol. They are perhaps filling the environmental niche of the extinct Carolina Parakeet which is actually a Conure not a parakeet, it ranged up to New York in the North and West to Colorado, it became extinct in the 1930's.

We have Quaker Parrots here in the Pacific Northwest, not a lot but a few colonies, one of the only parrots that can tolerate snow.

@mrrobot8973 3 года назад

@@deanfirnatine7814 I think they are the only parrot that can since (I believe) they are the only bird that lives in communal nests which helps with the cold. They are here in Chicago too and go as high up as Wisconsin. I asked the Chicago sub Reddit recently where they are now/how many there are and was told there’s hundreds to thousands of them.

@merk9569 Год назад

@@mrrobot8973. Actually, there are at least two other parrots that live in cold weather: the kea of New Zealand and Thick-billed parrots of Northern Mexico. Both are large parrots. I haven’t found information on their nesting behavior but I suspect that they don’t have communal nests like Quakers (also called Monk parakeets.).

@howardharaway2259 3 года назад

I own, I mean I share my home with thee smartest Congo African Grey I have ever seen here on utube. He is BRILLIANT ! I also have Quaker parrots . I WISH parrots could live just as easy in cold Climates . I would love to watch wild parrots in my neck of the woods, Bucks County, Pa.
