as in Brooklyn NY

Very cute, Lisa. You know, each time I watch these videos, I think about how we all work so hard to make sure our birds get fresh veggies and fruits - pull them after 2 hours - clean their cages - use GSE or ACV to ward off bacteria in their water, etc., etc. Yet, these guys are living outside, drinking filthy water, eating garbage - and they look very healthy. So how do we explain this?

They do look very healthy! I just love seeing them flourishing in the wild!

Aren't they just wonderful, simply wonderful little birds.
I enjoyed the film a great deal.
Thank you Lisa.

I look forward to seeing it--when I don't get the "waiting for youtube.com" message for five minutes.....

I found a little story that goes with that clip:

The hippest, best dressed crowd in Brooklyn isn't dining at Peter Lugar's, Franny's, or Al Di La's: they're chowing down in the wilds of Midwood: the place where the avian elite meet to eat!

Of course, some might say that the local gang of parrots, pigeons, sparrows, and starlings featured in this clip aren't exactly "elite," but these birds are definitely "cool" (after all, who wouldn't be with the temperature in the mid teens and steady wind from the West?), and their flashy but functional outfits never go out of style.

They're also hungry, and I am very glad to say that the Hartz Mountain Corporation generously donated the bird food enjoyed by these hardy avians, on this chilly Sunday, in this wild and wacky borough.

This clip, like just about every clip we upload, will be making its way into the forthcoming Brooklyn Parrots documentary film.
