Hey everyone!

Ever wondered why monk parakeets are called that? Well, it’s not because they wear little robes or live in monasteries!
The name actually comes from their appearance and behavior. These little birds have a distinct patch of feathers around their neck that resembles a monk’s cowl or hood. You know, like a bird version of a "spiritual leader," but instead of meditating, they’re chattering and flying around!

Another reason is their social nature...
