@BigPlunger I'll rather look at a monk parakeet then a house sparrow any day. Hopefully they flourish.

@Alidore4 they ARE quaker parrots. they have multiple names, the " monk parakeet " is actually the scientific name. or original.

There are 5 nests in cell phone towers behind my house... Every year we find chicks that fall out and we raise them. Once they get their flight feathers, we let them fly away when they want and they join the others.
