Monk Parakeet

This Central and South American bird has taken up residence in some unbelievable places like Illinois and New York. This Happy looking fellow lives with 60+ of his dearest friends in a tree in the front yard of a lucky family in South Texas a couple miles from the Mexican border.

 

These sixty parakeets had built four large nests the size of a loveseat out of twigs in the canopy of a tree. The Monk Parakeet is a very social bird that seem to really enjoy one another, so they built a few of these large nest out of twigs that they live in. I have never heard so much sound emanate from a tree.

 

And isn't he the happiest looking bird?
