Where to Find the Parakeets

Here is a small map of the Hyde Park area made during the winter of '97-'98. The numbers of nests and birds will undoubtedly change, especially over the breeding season and when the young fledge. If you know of any new sites, please email me at monkparakeet@yahoo.com.

Winter '98
Total # of nests = 48
Total # of active nesting chambers = 83
Approx. Total # of parakeets in Hyde Park = 166

A red circle denotes a nesting site. The numbers mean the following: # of nesting structures / # of active chambers. An active chamber is defined as a chamber at which I have seen parakeets leaving or entering. Click on the hyperlinks below to see pictures of the nests.
