Here is my first attempt at photographing parrots in Brooklyn. These are Monk or Quaker Parrots, originally from South America but which are now on well there way to colonizing a large portion of the world. I've seen these guys out flying around, screaming their little heads off when it was 20 degrees and there was snow on the ground. Normally I am anti-introduced species, but parrots that live in BK i winter are just way too cool. Check out the wikipedia article for more info on these rad dudes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monk_Parakeet.
