There is a population of large green and red parrots in New York City? Are they breeding? I investigated these questions and I have some, but certainly not all the answers. They are a temperate zone species, found at high elevations, so they are somewhat cold-adapted. What, you may ask? How did they get there?

They used Great T**s from non-urban and urban areas, and mixed them up through breeding, to rule out any possible family history of telomere length. The benefits are many, including the availability of anthropogenic food sources, breeding boxes and warmer temperatures. The less telomere, the more aging, independently of time.

Am I over-confident in my thinking that we were so interesting that they were investigating us for a good half an hour, until we moved further upriver? Hoatzin is one of the species I always dreamed to see, and then I forgot they are possible on this tour, so I didn’t expect them! Adult males reach an average length of 2.32
