Here we have Monk Parakeets. Rumor has it they have begun living in the entranceways of subway tunnels. The Audobon Society did a great study of them to see if they would compete with Owls-not in the least! Owls would use the top of existing Monk Parakeet nests as homes but the two birds kept totally different schedules.
