I saw some strange little birds today and was stunned to find out that there are 3 communities of Quaker parrots living in my neighborhood!

Okay, I'll bite: How could you tell they were Quakers?

There are green parakeets near here, and throughout a fair bit of the south east (UK) there are parakeets and other parrots living wild. Apparently they've been around (wild) since the late 1800s, but populations have boomed since the 1990s

That would be Amish parrots. Quaker parrots can be seen carrying pickets at anti-war protests.

They address people as "thee" and "thou". And they never curse.
______ Dennis Who went to a Quaker school as a kid, and fondly remembers elderly Teacher Anna, who addressed me as "thee", and would pot me with a beanbag if she thought I wasn't paying attention. |

And they put a bag over their heads if they get angry at a PI.

Personally, I'ed like to be felt up by an old bag.
Quaker parrots are more commonly known as Monk parakeets. And I'm not in Brooklyn. I live in Suffolk County, Long Island. Last edited by recluse; 06-29-2010 at 08:56 PM. |

OH! Parakeets...yeah, I believe that. I've seen parakeets in the wild around here as well. Wild Parrots are a bit more of a stretch in NY I think
