In Search of The Wild Parrots of Marine Park

A correspondent in Brooklyn named Dawn was driving around in the Marine Park area of Brooklyn recently and she snapped several pictures of wild parrot nests. Although she doesn't recall their exact location, she believes they are sited on Avenue U.


This nest is comfy, given that it's so near a warm transformer, but it's probably not the wisest location choice, given that such a nest can cause this transformer to overheat if the nest blocks its vents. Might it be possible to design a transformer whose vents are not vulnerable to nest-blockage?


The Sheepshead Bay wild parrots have not been well-documented, and it is my intention to organize a fact-finding mission in the near future. If you'd like to come along, please send me e-mail. In the meantime, these two photographs provide irrefutable proof that "the wild ones" have set up camp in Marine Park.
