    This is an argentinian parrot. It is an invasive bird.

    This parrots loves the Phoenix dactylifera. Always build his houses(nest) in this palms and eat the dates.

    The worst is this is a very noisy parrot! But i love to see this parrots flying arround the palms. When i see this i feel i am in a jungle.

    "The monk parakeet 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." (Wikipedia)

    Yes, this is Phoenix canariensis.

    Here this parrots build a very big nests, always in Phoenix Dactyliferas or canariensis.

    They build community nest and always you can see 15-20 parrots in the same nest.
