Description
This photo captures a group of green Monk Parakeet flying in Florida sky. I believe they are also called Quaker Parrot. They are not native birds in Florida but escaped as pets few decades ago. From my observation, I believe they are multiplying quickly!!
Monk parakeet (Small Bright-Green Parrot)
The monk parakeet, also known as the Quaker parrot, is a small, bright-green parrot with a greyish breast and greenish-yellow abdomen. In most taxonomies, it is classified as the only member of the genus Myiopsitta. It originates from the temperate to subtropical areas of Argentina and the surrounding countries in South America. Self-sustaining feral populations occur in many places, mainly in North America and Europe.
