replies: text: No. Parrots are not migratory, and this is a southern temperate species, which does not occur in tropical South or Central America, and is thus separated by many hundreds of miles of unsuitable habitat from the US cities whre it is found. jimfbleak 05:27, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

message: 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?
:That subspecies is not generally recognized as a seperate species. -- Kim van der Linde at venus 07:45, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Case for species status is strong, but a roundup of available data is clearly needed (eg for AOU to accept it) HBW recognizes it, and generally it seems prudent to do so - the taxon is only known from a remote area so that non-acceptance as distinct species is more due to lack of material than to scientific fact...

message: 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)

message: 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)
