This is Little Bird, our Quaker, who came to live with us in January 2004.
Formerly known as "Stormy", she needed a new home after her owner died.
Quaker Parrots are illegal in some states. They build nests that aren't just nests, but are more like apartments - multi-dwellings! Unfortunately, Quakers like to build nests on big power poles sometimes, which is considered a nuisance to utility companies. There is a good way to handle things and a bad. Unfortunately, sometimes power companies choose the bad instead of choosing a better alternative such as building platforms.
Feral Quaker Parrots (aka "Monk Parakeets") can thrive in climates you would never imagine possible for tropical birds. Connecticut, Brooklyn, Hyde Park in Chicago, and many other states.
