    • 3/14/2014 ~ Parrot Colony Monk (also called Quaker) Parrot Colony in Austin, Texas While in Austin on Tuesday my friend and I had lunch at Threadgill's, a neat restaurant/bar where Janis Joplin got her start. As we were walking across the parking lot I heard a noise, that I knew all too well! The screeching of Monk (aka Quaker) Parrots! I looked up to the electric service pole, and there between three transformers was a huge nest! We saw several birds going in and out, taking turns bringing food to the chicks inside. These birds are not native to Texas or the USA. Monks are native to South America. Colonies start in urban areas when pets escape or are released. These birds readily adapt to urban life and thrive, building huge nests in trees and utility poles. Thank you for the great comments yesterday on the picture of Elly's tattoo! I'll be sure to post a picture of it when it's all done and healed. Several of you mentioned it hurting. I will say that I never felt real pain with any of mine, but I have also been told that I have a very high threshold for pain. To me it's like a rather relentless bee sting. My daughter said 'it hurt' but she did not cry or freak out. I have seen people, even men, do both!
