Monk Parakeets are endemic to the lowlands of southern South America, but they have carved out a place for themselves in areas of Florida and beyond. They are larger (11.5", 29cm), louder and more aggressive than the familiar caged pet "budgies" (7", 18cm) which are native to Australia.
An earlier post (also shown in the first comment below) shows four of the colony of Monk Parakeets at Cape Coral, Florida.
