Monk Parakeet

Photographed in my village and seen building their nests high in Palm trees.

I previously posted the Parakeets building nests last April and now once again in July.

 

The Monk Parakeets originally introduced in Spain in the 1970s as pets, a species native in Argentina, & Brazil in South America, escapees now successfully breed and are now seen in very large numbers. They are considered invasive species and are being culled in many cities.
