Let the Parrot Counting Begin!

OK, it is January–which means this is the month to head out and count birds at your local urban parrot roost! I’m helping to coordinate the first World Parrot Count. If you have parrots or parakeets in your area, check out the count page and let us know how many of each species you have. I’ll be doing more reporting on the count here as the month progresses, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we need folks to count Monk Parakeet nests in NJ, NY, CT and elsewhere in the Northeast. Also need lots of people to help out across Florida with the widespread exotic avian zoo down there! But no matter where you are, please help us start keeping track of these exotic birds that are becoming a larger part of our urban birdscapes!
