The Parakeet of City Streets, the Monk Parakeet

10,000 Birds

Monk Parakeet is the only parrot species that builds its own nest. These are extremely large stick structures (some articles compare the largest ones to the size of a car) that are usually populated by multiple breeding pairs in separate chambers. And, there I saw the famous Monk Parakeet nests saved by Mayor Harold Washington.
