Brooklyn Parrots Dodge a Bullet

If you've been out to Brooklyn College recently, you know that there's a tremendous amount of construction going on out by the Athletic Field, which is of course the site of the main wild parrot colony in the Northeast.

Despite the fears of some that this construction would disrupt the lives of the Brooklyn Parrots, I have been personally assured that great care is being taken not to disturb their nests, which are sited on the high stadium light poles visible in this photo. I have also personally inspected the field in recent weeks, and have noticed no impact on the birds. Happily, this major reconstruction project will not entail removal of the poles!

Kudos to Brooklyn College for their sensitivity to the avians who have made Brooklyn College their home!
