Hey Tweets,
Does anyone know how the Seward Park Parrots are doing? Any sightings lately? Might be fun to include them in this 'count' !

How about the Yacolt Monk Parakeets? Did any of them survive the purge of their nests?

Would be kinda fun to have surveys of 2 wild parrot populations from Washington State!
