Parrots during the winter months are almost solely dependent on backyard feeders. I’m sure you will see that little guy again, along with a few of his friends.

I never imagined that it could be wild parrots!!! I ran home and got my binoculars, got in my car and drove to where I had seen them. Oh, they were beautiful!!! I couldn't understand why they were so far north. I'd seen a few in Georgia, but never thought I'd see them in Illinois, and in late October! There were about 14-16 of them, and they were precious! What a wonderful morning this is! Hope to see more!. I recently moved from Georgia to Illinois, and this morning, I was walking my dog, and heard what I thought were starlings.

Saturday (9/26/09) a flock of about 30 parrots landed in the tree in front of my house. I have never seen parrots down this way before. It was amazing! They squabbled for about 5 minutes and headed west. I live close to the Great South Bay in Lindenhurst NY. Saturday (9/26/09) a flock of about 30 parrots landed in the tree in front of my house.

They are about the same length as an Amazon parrot but a lot slimmer. They normally fly together in pairs or small flocks. Also, I am sure that they stay here for the winter, but I don't know where. I saw them in my friend's yard once in a small flock and a few times I have seen them fly overhead in pairs. I have seen the red headed parrots in the Jamaica part of Queens.

Not a monk parrot, as this one had a bit of red on or just above its beak. Was tagged on the right leg. Could indicate that they are migrating west, toward the city.
