BrooklynParrots.com Moves to Brooklyn

I am happy to say that after many months of wandering, BrooklynParrots.com has now formerly moved to Brooklyn; specifically the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, home to a significant flock of wild parrots and within striking distance of all the major flocks in this wild, wild borough.

I've lived in Brooklyn before; back in the 1980's, when, it seemed, it was rare that a day went by without a drive-by shooting happening on a nearby street. I went to high school here, at a school called St. Anne's, in Brooklyn Heights. I've had girlfriends who lived in Brooklyn; some were angels, some were -- well, we won't go there. I've seen the best and worst of humanity in this borough; and as much as I've tried to flee Brooklyn, something always drew me back.

Little did I suspect that it would be a bunch of little green refugees from Argentina that would convince me to return to this place. How long will I stay? Only time will tell. But I'd like to think that if Brooklyn has room in its heart for "the world's most persecuted parrot," there will be room here for me too.
