Parrot Sightings 2008

GP in Woodmere reports: I was stunned a couple of mornings ago as I was walking to the train on my way to work to see 10-12 parrots in a tree eating berries. From down the street I heard popping noises (the berries?!) and looked up to see rather large birds. As I got closer I saw they were parrots. A woman who works in the store in front of the tree out front of where I saw them said they had been coming there once a year for a number of years.

Not phased by many things I must say I was astonished by the
experience. I have lived on Long Island all my life (45 years) and have
never encountered them before. In my search to find out where these
birds came from I came across your site and thought I would share my
experience.

Parrot Sightings 2007

There is more activity than ever on my street. Numerous parrots are here every day, usually in pairs; I believe they may be looking for a location to build a nest. My husband used the directions posted by Operation Parakeet and crafted the following feeder and nest in the photos below (ok, I made him do that also) …but I have to say, all this is not necessary. My inlaws use standard feeders and they have them every day! Seems like they’re a lot like hummingbirds; if you see them, then all you have to do is make them welcome.
