Wild Parrots Sighted in Bensonhurst

A correspondent and parrot-watcher from Brooklyn has made what I believe is the first available photographic documentation of a wild parrot nest in Brooklyn's Bensonhurst neighborhood.

The Bensonhurst nest is about four and one-half miles to the south of the Brooklyn College colony. The facts that parrots are living there corresponds to anecdotal reports of a wild parrot colony living somewhere in the Sheepshead Bay area.

Appreciative thanks and photo credits to Marie Randazzo, of Brooklyn, for bringing this exciting news of a new Brooklyn nest to our attention.
