Parrot Sighting On Glenwood Road

Many thanks to neighbor Mike Rosalie for sending us this beautiful photo of a monk parakeet — also known as a quaker parrot — hanging out on Glenwood Road! The quaker parrots, who have made their home in the city for more than five decades, have been spotted throughout Brooklyn, with large congregations of them frequently being seen in places like Green-Wood Cemetery and Brooklyn College.
