I was just speaking to a student who loves birds. He had just found out about the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill, San Fransisco. There is a wonderful documentary about them.

There is much information on line.
You wouldn't think that wild parrots could survive Chicago's freezing winters but the Quaker parrots (also called monk parakeets) in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood are a thriving community and have lived there since the early 1980s. They are easy to see any time of year.
