These are called by at least 4 common names in english: Quaker or Monk, parakeet or parrot (four possible combinations all of which can he found on hte internet) --BerserkerBen 15:47, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
Is it not possible that this bird naturally spread from South America to North America?
Article states Myiopsitta monachus is the only member of the genus, but other article lists Myiopsitta luchsi (cliff parakeet). Is that not the same genus?
Out of all possible names for this bird, I think the official title of the article is probably the very least common.
Typically, they are sold as Quaker Parrots. What's more, they're not parakeets; they are parrots. They lack the raised fleshy nostrils of a parakeet, and are occasionally misnamed parakeets purely because of their small size. --Kaz 20:02, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Thankyou, I like quaker parrot better. The problem is not hard to solve just move everything from here to Quaker Parrot and delete everything here and replaced it with a redirect.--BerserkerBen 22:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Is there any way to put in a section about which US states ban Monk Parakeets? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.171.27 (talk) 02:13, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
If anyone here wants to add something about the feral population at Boreham Wood, there's some information at http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-pets/wildlife/management/non-native/documents/csl-parakeet-deskstudy.pdf - DEFRA Parakeets report, page 29. Opbeith (talk) 13:10, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Why are there two External Links sections? 216.54.81.104 (talk) 13:19, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
Under Behavior and Ecology it lists really large age ranges for the average lifespan. The cited articles don't seem to support those ranges. 2605:A601:A632:6E00:6DFD:2D05:5640:2083 (talk) 09:43, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Methinks LVZ is not a suitable source for a wikipedia article on biology. It is a popular daily news paper, and not even a quality one in this category. The claim about monk parakeets in Germany is plain wrong; serious birdwatching organisations don't list monk parakeets among the breeding birds of Germany.
The comment in the edit history claims that LVZ sources the whole country list: This is also wrong, the article is only about parakeets in Germany.
I remove it again. 2003:E6:9713:9622:6911:1:5D0D:D113 (talk) 15:20, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
It seems that the German population(s) are extinct: From this paper: Mediterranean versus Atlantic monk parakeets Myiopsitta monachus: Towards differentiated management at the European scale January 2019Pest Management Science 75(4) DOI: 10.1002/ps.5320 Jose Luis Postigo et al., on ResearchGate https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330250031_Mediterranean_versus_Atlantic_monk_parakeets_Myiopsitta_monachus_Towards_differentiated_management_at_the_European_scale page 14 "Monk parakeets have previously been reported in colder, northern European countries,30, 61-63 but these populations have likely gone extinct as we found no recent evidence of monk parakeet occurrences in Denmark, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. We also found some records of small monk parakeet populations that have gone extinct in UK, France and The Netherlands,42, 52, 53 while the population in Belgium suffered two sharp declines since its establishment in Brussels in the late 70s.27". 2003:E6:9713:9622:5CC0:2694:E7EC:4977 (talk) 19:07, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
