Ballad of the Brooklyn Parrots (Full-Motion Version)

[Kissmekatedelta881]

Dear Steve,

I have been seeing these parrots everywhere while caretaking my mom. She passed away on September 21, 2009. When I see these parrots they are a great confort to me--thanks for creating these videos! Catherine

[blakbanshee]

very cool! where in brooklyn can they be seen?

[brooklynparrot]

Try Green-Wood Cemetery for starters. The parrots can easily seen at the main gate (25th and 5th avenue).

[july7nyc]

Ah, I love this version! And I see NEEWS in there too! Hope all is well with you, Steve. Take care.

[brooklynparrot]

Thanks! It was hard to get the parrots with NYC behind them, but I lucked out!

[Dancin2DanceMusiq]

I have a quaker parrot! He's an awesome pet!

(Yes, he's legal in my state!)

[sandrak1]

Nice, Steve - Kiwi loved it and was screeching to the music.I still like the old version too. Did you ever find out about the report of shooting Quakers in Illinois (not Chicago)?

Sandra & Fred Kassabian

[brooklynparrot]

The last I heard the local sheriff (who owns a Quaker) had taken a "personal interest" in the case. Hopefully he's given the bad guys cause to do something else than shoot these charming parrots.

[sandrak1]

Unfortunately it only takes a bozo w/a Rambo attitude and a gun to do injury.Totally un- related, Chicago has red winged blackbirds that are territorial during nesting season & are harassing passersby. A comment from a bozo (compliment @ this point) in Chicago Trib was to shoot it & then stomp it to death. Go figure, this particular bozo happens to live in my neighbourhood.Ain't life grand? Glad to know the sheriff had a "personal interest", I hope it helps.

[poodeelah]

Awesome! I have a little imp just like these guys. Loud, YES!

[Spartan9175]

Awesome, very nice
