They are small parakeets with a more or less dull green basic color with some contrasting colorful patches, and are commonly known as "grass parrots".
The parakeets had been absent from the island for 150 years and their natural return was a notable event in parrot conservation.
These parakeets are truly opportunistic breeders, with pairs choosing to nest when food is plentiful.
Shortly after his daughter opens his parakeet's cage with scissors in hand, the pastor finds the bird cruelly impaled.
The roof of an aviary was blown off, and at least two parakeets escaped.
Other such birds at the gardens include finches, canaries, parakeets, a white-cheeked turaco and more.
The mixture was nicknamed "perico", or parakeet, because it would turn workers completely blue.
I am advised that there are at present no substantial agricultural grounds for exercising these powers in relation to the parakeet.
