Though I have been birding for a few years now, I had only birded west of the Mississippi once before my recent trip to Austin, Texas. Given how far west I found myself, I was hoping for at least a handful of new birds. As we walked, I noticed two unique birds on the power lines. Monk Parakeet.

There is a long list of articles and books on how to feed birds in your yard. Feeding Wild Birds in America: Culture, Commerce & Conservation by Paul J. And conservation.

These birds do not have to have access to the outdoors and are housed in such overcrowded sheds that they can barely move around, and yet, they are deceptively marketed as "free roaming" to conscientious compassionate consumers.
