They're funny, smart, curious, and adorable little birds. They have a TON of personality in a very tiny birdy =)

No , it is not a mystery.They broke out of a shipping crate coming into Kennedy International Airport (Idlewild) stayed together as a flock and bred and built shelter and bred some more and spread their range. It started in 1968. Tom Loughlin Jr.-human owned by Teebird Loughlin , Quaker Supreme.

I find it just amazing to see any evidence of a parrot out of their comfort zone(native habitat)in the wild. It is nice to see that they can survive when they escape.I am sure it is a site to see. Thank you for your video.

I had a quaker, it broke out of its cage and flew away and 3 days later it flew into my neighbors house and i got it back :) This was during a harsh chicago winter too.

i just saw these little guys in veteran's field in edgewater yesterday. i thought i was seeing things. what the hell are parrots doing in new jersey?! but there they were. it was beautiful and obviously a great sign.

Hahah. Parrots know that New Jersey is great! I'd rather see them free. They seem pretty happy, but I would worry about their nourishment. I hope someone puts out fresh fruit or veggies for them once in a while.

Just a few years ago they were no where to be found, This is pretty recent and quick. Rumor has it that a bunch escaped from an Edgewater pet shop not to long ago and managed to survive the winter. Soon after the population exploded. Now i see them in the neighboring towns.

i live in a town nearby edgewater which these parrots inhabit as well. supposedly they have mated with pigeons and have adapted to live through the winters, i beleive it all started when a guy released his parrots back in the70s

So far, PSE&G has been very forthcoming about their plans to remove certain nests, and has listened to us about scheduling same (we especially don't want teardowns when there are babies/eggs in the nest). And no, they don't kill the birds, unlike what the utility company in CT did in 2005.

I wonder if these things could live in Poland. I'm thinking of buying and realesing them
@kerry510197115 жыл бұрын
It would not be advisable to do this because the birds you will buy would be domesticated & totally dependant on humans to feed & care for them. It's also a bad thing to introduce a non-native species into the wild, as they can overrun & kill off other species. Just get one as a pet & be delighted with how smart & beautiful they are, or get a pair & breed them yourself (but not too often, as you will not get rich selling them!) These NY/NJ birds are still a mystery as to how they got here.
