This monk parakeet in Corpus Christi found a big piece for its communal stick nest. While normally quite noisy, this bird (but not its companions) was very quiet as it fought with its giant twig. The monk parakeet is a native of South America but was first spotted in Texas a little more than 50 years ago. | Chron

31 reactions | Check out this amazing structure! What you are looking at is a monk parakeet nest. 列 Monk parakeets are noisy, social parrots; in fact, they are the only species of parrot that builds stick nests and nests colonially! They live in these massive nests all year.  On average, one contains about 20 chambers, but it can hold up to 200 nests! They are also wonderful insulators, and help the birds survive cold winter temperatures. ❄️ | Birdbuddy | Facebook

For over 60 years, green-feathered Monk parakeets have darted across the Crescent City, squawking from telephone lines and nesting in power poles. Aside from their unique preference for urban nesting, the birds — sometimes called Quaker parrots — are known for building intricate nests made from sticks, often lodged in utility poles or other man-made structures. | NOLA.com

The green parrots found near Florida beaches are most commonly Monk Parakeets (also known as Quaker parrots) and Nanday Parakeets. These birds are not native to Florida but are feral populations that originated from escaped pets. #parrot #wildlifephotography #birds | Matt Tramontana
