Should have shot the neighbor. Twice.

Yep. 40 or so years ago the Chicago Park District was going to destroy the nests around town and extirpate the parakeets but Mayor Harold Washington had a nest in a park across from his apartment and liked the birds so he prevented the Park District from destroying them. As a result, they are established and are expanding a little but their biggest problem is building nests on cell towers and the communications companies take down the nests as a hazard to the equipment. They are in Jackson Park on the lake on light standards at a sports complex and are on the Illinois list.
I don't know how they survive the winters.
