Monk Parakeet ( Lifer)

Also known as the Quaker parrot. Thousands of monk parakeets were imported to the United States between the 1960s and the 1980s as pets. Many escaped and since then they have established colonies across the U.S. The Monk is one of the few temperate-zone parrots, making it more able than most to survive cold climates. Monmouth, NJ.
