ReplyDeleteThe wild parrots of Brooklyn! A lot of them nest near my apartment so I sometimes see parrots on my walks through Brooklyn. They are quite loud and large. I love seeing them.
Alright then. My favorite green birds are the parrots of New Orleans. What's that, you say? Parrots, in... New Orleans? Why yes. Are they native? No. They're an introduced species. There are those that will tell you that they migrated there but, uh, as my former biogeography of birds teacher will tell you, they're a non-migratory species. They're actually fallout from the pet trade, believe it or not. New Orleans is a major port city; they get shipped up from South America, and over the years enough of them have escaped or been set free to establish a population. The semi-tropical environment there, with all its palm trees, combined with the utter lack of predators, has been a perfect place for them to flourish. And man, are they loud. As requested, a link to a picture:

Here is my favourite green bird: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41547529@N00/317646813/
ReplyDeleteOften called Budgies, or Parakeets.
The reason I like them is they are so cheery, and comforting. Before you even open your eyes in the morning they are cheeping and tweeting the arrival of the new day. Not only are they beautiful, but they sound beautiful and are friendly, easy birds to care for. I had some for a time, I let a friend who was dying of cancer have them, her daughter had them for many years after. They made her short time on the planet so happy. So it was the least I could do.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Thanks for the fun drawing. My email is on the way to you. Jody
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic prize package giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI can see our rescue Beagle in the Clover Leaf Antennas now! I like the Green Heron; especially because it is one of the few tool-
using birds. It uses lures like bread crusts, insects,earthworms and feathers to attract small fish. Then, it eats the small fish it attracts. Many thanks, Cindi

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't follow directions. I was distracted by a six year old. Where I live we don't have many green birds, but I remembered seeing this one at the zoo. It is so vibrant. I love color. Here's my link:
