More than 200,000 of the birds were imported to the United States for the pet trade between 1968 and 1990, according to a 2004 paper published in Florida Field Naturalist.
Researchers wrote that accidental escapes and possibly deliberate releases led to free-flying birds in Florida.
Although a menu has not been released, Nanday Café says it will offer espresso drinks, lattes, matcha, and “fresh, satisfying neighborhood favorites” for lunch.
Its website describes the concept as a place for a morning latte, a leisurely lunch, or time spent enjoying Gulfport’s laid-back atmosphere.
Nanday Café has not announced an opening date or hours. Follow the café on Instagram and Facebook for updates.
