Of all the feral things
March 18, 2009 in gewgaws
I just found out that there are 20+ feral parrots living in Brooklyn’s Greenwood Cemetery. Feral parrots? What? Where did they come from?
So many parrots!
Yep, definitely from Brooklyn.

People get tired of having them as pets, or their owners die, or they escape. I’m impressed they can make it in Brooklyn. Florida is the craziest place for feral ex-pets and zoo animals. Parrots, iguanas, pythons, monkeys..
These parrots where remnants of an accident that occurred back in the mid 60s. They where being delivered when the truck they where in got turned over. The Parrots have been around since then. My Godmother in Williamsburg Brooklyn has one that flew into her house thinking it belonged to the neighbors.
