§A Pandemonium of Parakeets§
Native To: Northern South America. They have a fairly wide range spread throughout Venezuela, Colombia, the Guianas, Brazil, and northern Argentina and Uruguay. First seen in the wild in Florida in 1987, they quickly established a stable population that may interbreed with Mitered Parakeets, which look really similar, but have more red on the head, and less on the wing.
~true bird fact~ Gregarious and adaptable birds, they do well with city life, even within their usual range. Normally they would nest in tree hollows or at the top of palm trees, but have adapted to use both limestone caves and the eaves of buildings as well.
Do they talk? Yes
May accidentally make light of serious issues
Maintains a persistant light mood, seemingly without much effort
Loves a good prank
Makes a big 'ahh' noise of satisfaction after eating or drinking something
