- Wild Quaker Parrot video introduces you to New Jersey's amazing flock of wild Quaker Parrots. Shot by Steve Baldwin of BrooklynParrots.com, this footage is going into forthcoming parrot documentary on wild Quake Parrots in U.S.A.
They're funny, smart, curious, and adorable little birds. They have a TON of personality in a very tiny birdy =)
No , it is not a mystery.They broke out of a shipping crate coming into Kennedy International Airport (Idlewild) stayed together as a flock and bred and built shelter and bred some more and spread their range. It started in 1968.

My quaker parrot is watching this video right now. He's making a lot of noise in my ear... Seems to be his favorite! hehe.
Hehe, you'll be surprised to find out how L-O-U-D this birds are! The park with the large tree is at the corner of Rt.5 and River Road in Edgewater... Be sure to grab a canoli at the Italian Bakery across the street, hmmm good! :)
I find it just amazing to see any evidence of a parrot out of their comfort zone(native habitat)in the wild. It is nice to see that they can survive when they escape.I am sure it is a site to see. Thank you for your video.
How lovely they are.
I think that its awesome that they have been able to survive. I love parrots. I hope they someday migrate down to south jersey!!!
VERY PRETTY BIRDS. I LOVE IT.
I had a quaker, it broke out of its cage and flew away and 3 days later it flew into my neighbors house and i got it back :) This was during a harsh chicago winter too.
Also known as The Quaker Instant Oatmeal Parrots.
Woman from my office saw a flock of them fly by today! She thought she was crazy and had to look into it...low and behold she's not crazy!
remind me next time i'm terraforming a planet to bring a couple of THESE along..
Hahah. Parrots know that New Jersey is great! I'd rather see them free. They seem pretty happy, but I would worry about their nourishment. I hope someone puts out fresh fruit or veggies for them once in a while.
i just saw these little guys in veteran's field in edgewater yesterday. i thought i was seeing things. what the hell are parrots doing in new jersey?! but there they were. it was beautiful and obviously a great sign.
yeah i seen a few all around jersey. just the other day i saw a deer in Elizabeth.
BIRDS ROCK !
i have one of thoughs parrots
Just a few years ago they were no where to be found, This is pretty recent and quick. Rumor has it that a bunch escaped from an Edgewater pet shop not to long ago and managed to survive the winter. Soon after the population exploded. Now i see them in the neighboring towns.
i live in a town nearby edgewater which these parrots inhabit as well. supposedly they have mated with pigeons and have adapted to live through the winters, i beleive it all started when a guy released his parrots back in the70s
we have many here along the shorelines of west haven, Connecticut
En España: Barcelona, Mallorca o Malaga, entre otras localizaciones, albergan ya unas cuantas colonias de esta plaga. Cotorras Argentinas.
Excelent Video. Muy bueno
;)
A heads up to everyone. Quaker parrots are one of the hardiest little parrots in the world.. They will can and do survive some of the worst wheather conditions!

So far, PSE&G has been very forthcoming about their plans to remove certain nests, and has listened to us about scheduling same (we especially don't want teardowns when there are babies/eggs in the nest). And no, they don't kill the birds, unlike what the utility company in CT did in 2005.
How do these birls survive the winter??? I live a little ways for Edjewater and it gets quite cold.
Does this happen every spring in Brooklyn cause I live in New Jersey and I've never seen any?
I wonder if these things could live in Poland. I'm thinking of buying and realesing them
It would not be advisable to do this because the birds you will buy would be domesticated & totally dependant on humans to feed & care for them. It's also a bad thing to introduce a non-native species into the wild, as they can overrun & kill off other species. Just get one as a pet & be delighted with how smart & beautiful they are, or get a pair & breed them yourself (but not too often, as you will not get rich selling them!) These NY/NJ birds are still a mystery as to how they got here.
