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 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
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”
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!
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...
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
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.
I live in Corona Queens in flushing meadow Park icing my parents breeding in flushing meadow Park in the globe that was that that I saw the parrots breed
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 !
@@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.
@@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.).
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.

The whole story of parrots escaping from the airport sound like the plot an kid's movie .
That’s a damn good movie idea!
It's the same story they tell here in San Francisco about our Mitred Conures or Cherryheads, so I'm a bit suspicious,lol.

It's a replacement for the Carolina Parakeet. They are just filling the old niche.
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!
amazing that they can survive the winter. Chicago also has a large thriving population

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

Parrots should just live in the city. There better looking then pigeons
Yeah way better than sparrow and pigeons
Always passionated with this NY parrots stuff
I saw some macaws in Chicago
All life is sacred
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
@@Nil-pb7sfparrots dont really harm the native species

Do the wild parrots talk like people?
I remember driving in jersey on river road omw to GWB and would hear so many exotic birds everywhere

Theyve managed to stay cleaner than pigeons.
parrots are the primates of birds.

Monk parrots
Love them loads in the UK
Loads in London apparently
@@boziewz6125 lots in Yorkshire as well.. Slowly spreading... They're noisy birds but really colourful and playful....
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.
They are wild parrots in california, texas and Florida.
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
Yep, they never said the species just that they came from Argentina
Monk parakeets
Why is there no actual footage of the grey parrots??

Well pigeons are still similar to lemur intelligence and parrots are at ape levels of intelligence I guess.
Wild parrots can also be found all over Texas from Brownsville to Dallas.
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.

Aren’t these parrots an invasive species in New York City
Holly deemer yes
New York can't even handle it's rats, so they should just chill here.
Rats pigeons starlings and English sparrows are all invasive species as well
There actually used to be parrots native to here but went extinct in the early 20th century
killer queen is best man neko yeah but they were a native species
