Green parrot

Beautiful photo of parakeet in flight. These birds are also invading the parks of Cagliari, ciao Giangiorgio

Thank you, Giangiorgio. In Rome, there are many Alexandrine parakeet and monk parakeet. This is the first time that I have seen a green parakeet (Psittacara holochlorus), although, I am not even sure about its identity. It is also possible this specimen only escaped from someone. Ciao, Sandor

I love this photograph! Probably, in part, because I so rarely see this bird in full flight! Thank you for sharing this with us. All my best, Mitch

Thank you, Mitch, for the kind words. Best wishes, Sandor

Beautiful capture Sandor! We call them Blue Crowned Conures, my brother-in-law had one as a pet for many years. In San Francisco there are flocks of dozens of conures of various varieties that started as escapees. The climate is perfect for them there, and there are just not enough falcons and hawks to keep their population in check. Warmest regards, Todd

Thank you, Todd. The shot was taken in Rome, Italy. While there are many Alexandrine parakeets and monk parakeets here, this was the first time I saw this species. Maybe, it is also an escapee now, and later, who knows... Kind regards, Sandor

Very nice aerial view of the bird Sandor. Love the wing spread, Best regards, Paul.

Thank you, Paul, I am glad you like it. Kind regards, Sandor
