No, we don’t note every appearance of Monk Parrots in a new spot in Brooklyn. But, when someone posts pics of the birds in Coney Island, we think it’s post-worthy. This picture was posted by The Great Fredini on the Coney Island Message Board. He wrote: “We saw 5 of Brooklyn’s wild parrots hanging out in This tree near the Surf & Turf Grill. I’ve seen them before in Manhattan Beach or near Brooklyn College, but never in Coney Island. I think its a good omen for 2008!” That would place the birds near Surf Avenue, a block from the beach.

I think that this is amazing. Conservation should be a primary issue. If we are lucky a new parrot species may arise as we can see in San Francisco, and the Galapagos. We have a beautiful landscape here in new york. Along the entire stretch of the Hudson River we can find such an amazing array of species of both Flora and Fauna that should be helped in anyway possible. Being thumbed intelligent mammals I almost feel as though it is our responsibility.
