This monk parakeet in Corpus Christi found a big piece for its communal stick nest. While normally quite noisy, this bird (but not its companions) was very quiet as it fought with its giant twig. The monk parakeet is a native of South America but was first spotted in Texas a little more than 50 years ago. | Chron

31 reactions | Check out this amazing structure! What you are looking at is a monk parakeet nest. 列 Monk parakeets are noisy, social parrots; in fact, they are the only species of parrot that builds stick nests and nests colonially! They live in these massive nests all year.  On average, one contains about 20 chambers, but it can hold up to 200 nests! They are also wonderful insulators, and help the birds survive cold winter temperatures. ❄️ | Birdbuddy | Facebook
