On April 31, 2007, a joint “wild parrot safari” organized by EdgewaterParrots.com and BrooklynParrots.com inspected Edgewater’s impressive colony of wild Quaker Parrots. Pizza was distributed to the parrots at the conclusion of the inspection.

Do they actually perch on those high places full of needles to prevent pigeons??? Quakers are so badass!
hey steve question how many monk parakeets live in the whole of nyc and nj? and can you plez find out any news on what happened to those parakeets that were found in manhattan i just want to know so plz do tell
Ah… teabag that’s probably not a good idea:
a)the parrot would be considered an exotic species
b)the parrot would probably not adapt to the conditions there quick enough
c) it could become an invasive species
These birds are so unusual, amicable, and intelligent. I am surprised to read all of the negative or strange comments. In a large city full of human industry, I would think people would welcome some brightly colored, intriguing neighbors!
Wow–I can’t imagine killing poor old urban pigeons, who are used to dodging taxicabs and pedestrians, with a .12 gauge and calling it “sport.” The “hunters” should be forced to eat all they kill. Raw. With horseradish-!
The pigeons are evidently being sold to Pennsylvania hunting clubs. This has been going on for some time (I first heard about this happening in 2004). There have been cases of parrot poachings and the neighborhoods have been put on alert. We’ve rolled up some of these people but there are still a few that need nabbing.
The Latest NEW YORKER tells of a weird trend in NYC: wild bird napping, using bread crumbs and snatching’em with a net–hauling off in vans. Nobody knows their fate. (Can parrots be next-?)

The thing is that they’ve been living in Brooklyn for almost 40 years and the population hasn’t really exploded. It’s actually quite difficult for them to live through the winter, and there are multiple factors limiting their ability to proliferate. In warmer climes, it’s much easier.
These Parrots are lovely now, but with till they multiply and start making a lot of noise throughout Brooklyn.
I wonder if these things could live in Poland. I’m thinking of buying and realesing them
Wonderful job Steve, as always!
Cool….good luck Steve…thanks so much for sharing — my 3 year old niece is turning into a bird freak (just like her auntie
) and she got a HUGE kick out of watching your videos….
>Any idea when the documentary will be ready??
I’m hoping to get at least 60 minutes of edited footage ready by the end of the summer. This way, I can get it out to cable stations. Then I’ll keep pressing on a longer version. I know it’s unlikely that this film will be released theatrically, so my plan is to release a lot of it online, at some site that accepts long-form video. Thanks for asking!
best,
steve
So that’s what wild quakers sound like? I’ve seen a lot of photos online & in the newspapers of wild quakers. I own a quaker. He’s not wild and he sounds like a person and baby, not like those weird sounds they were making. Those looked well fed, but i guess a lot of people feed them (they eat a lot too).
Any idea when the documentary will be ready?? I love watching your videos! There was a fantastic documentary about a wild flock in San Francisco, “The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill”,which was made my Eric Bittner……it was the best documentary I’ve ever seen…such a treat.
Your video clip is great and I’ve rated it as awesome. Please see my video clip on a parrot animation and some Victorian trading cards of exotic birds such as parrots, paradise bird, toucan, humming bird etc.
so nice to see that this flock is doing OK…
they look like the wild quaker parrots are always that green colour
That’s a lot of birds.
Very seemless, good job editing the diffrent shots!
lol awesome its very amusing and also i love birds
