Believe it or not, many cities across the country are home to wild Parrots. Chicago has Quaker Parrots, New York City has Monk Parakeets, Los Angeles is home to Red-Crowned Amazons, and in San Francisco, you’ll find wild Cherry-Headed Conures.
TikToker Erica (@shirleybirdy) lives in a high-rise building in the City by the Bay and shares videos of the wild Conures who visit her. She’s earned their trust by feeding them regularly and offering them a safe place to rest. They’re so comfortable with her that when members of the flock recently had three babies, they brought them to meet her!
Erica shared in the caption, “They brought me three new babies this morning – I cried.” We would have, too, and her video left us all wondering why nothing this cool ever happens to us!
She also shared a video of two of the baby birds playing on her balcony, and said they were entertaining. It might be a good thing that they’re not at our house because we have a feeling we’d never get anything done!

People Are Touched by the Parrots’ Sweet Introduction
Like us, viewers were smitten with the adorable little birds. @kellpert made us laugh when they joked, “I was unaware avocados could have babies.”
@Whitney McGee asked what many others were thinking: “Why am I the last to know that there are wild Parrots in San Francisco?! What the heck?!” Erica replied, “Check out their documentary – ‘The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill.’ It’s SO good. They’ve been here since the ’80s!”
Commenter @MEE-YAO shouted, “OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! Looks like the best morning EVER!” We couldn’t agree more!
Bringing the babies along might be the sweetest thank-you these Parrots could give her, and we’re all jealous!
