    Where did they come from and since parrots are supposed to be tropical birds how do they survive the winters?

    They did a video with the one in San Francisco. It was a great video. Please post when yours is done. I’d love to see it.Thanks!

    Thanks much!

    To answer your question, I don’t know of anyone else doing a documentary project on the wild quakers. I actually met Werner Herzog recently (the director of Fitzcaraldo and Grizzly Man) and he thought this was a good idea (although he warned me that it would take a lot of time, which it is!)
