The amazing resilience of animals. Obviously, escaped companion birds or zoo birds finding a way to survive. Like the wild conures in San Francisco.

Poor nut!

My grandparents live in Miami and they have a mango tree in the backyard. When the mango's are ripe they get all kinds of parrots in that tree. I have seen flocks of Macaws, Quakers, and some Amazons. Its interesting to watch the birds interact in a more wild way. Most of these parrots have become loose/wild due to hurricanes (most blame Andrew, esp since it almost completely destroyed the parrot jungle releasing several different types of parrots - not all them were recovered). Its amazing how birds can adapt.

You can find pied ringnecks, lutino ringnecks, cinnamon ringnecks, blue ringnecks, and gray ringnecks just to name a few.There is a stage known as bluffing that an adolescent ringneck parakeet will go through that causes it to be more aggressive and prone to biting.

There's some really nice shots there!

Here's a short documentary I made in my last year of uni on the Ringnecks in and around London, let me know what you think: The Parakeets of Greater London on Vimeo
