#Videocrux - A Paradise for parrots in the heart of Brooklyn
A Paradise for parrots in the heart of Brooklyn Some people call New York City a concrete jungle. And these days you can even take a "safari" to check out the exotic wildlife. Released or escaped parakeets and their offspring are building colonies in a Brooklyn park, far from their species’ native lands.
New York bird watcher's new delight A parakeet is a term for any one of a large number of unrelated small to medium sized species of parrot, that generally have long tail feathers. Originally from South America, the parrots have found a home in the heart of New York city at Brooklyn.

Colonies of Parakeets enchant birdwatchers Wild parrots have so well mixed with the rest of the birds that's it difficult to point them out. Scientists are now studying these tropical birds have adapted to the severely colf climates of London and Chicago, New York.
"Exotic birds have adapted to the ecosystem' Steve Baldwin, Safari Leader, says he no longer have to travel to distant lands in search of exotic birds like parakeets, the birds are right there in his home town New York. And what astonishes him more is the fact that how well these birds have managed to adapt to the ecosystem of the city.
