About

Unico entre los loros como la unica especie que construye nidos comunales grandes de ramas en lugar de anidar en cavidades, los cotorras monjes son nativos de America del Sur templada pero han establecido grandes poblaciones ferales en America del Norte, Europa e Israel. Anidadores coloniales, varias parejas construyen y mantienen elaboradas estructuras de ramas similares a apartamentos en arboles y en estructuras artificiales. Consideradas plagas agricolas en algunas regiones, al mismo tiempo son celebradas por su inteligencia y complejidad social.
