About Quaker Parakeet

The Quaker Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) or Monk Parakeet is a small bright green parrot with a grayish breast and greenish-yellow abdomen. Domestic breeds in colours other than the natural plumage have been produced. This is the only parrot that builds a stick nest, in a tree or on a man-made structure, rather than using a hole in a tree.
