Parrots: Follow the Flock with Moore Lab of Zoology

Sat, Dec 07, 2024

4:30 PM — 5:30 PM

Leader: Diego Blanco

When you hear and see the parrots of L.A. do you ever wonder where they’re headed? Roosting sites are a wonderful way to observe a flock of parrots and parakeets gather during winter evenings. At the Moore Lab, our team launched the Free-flying Los Angeles Parrot Project (FLAPP), where we’re looking closely at the DNA of Red-crowned Parrots and Lilac-crowned Parrots and collecting community science observations along the way. Native to opposite coasts of Mexico, the Red-crowned Parrots and Lilac-crowned Parrots never meet, but in Los Angeles they mingle, hybridize, and roost together.

Join us as we follow the parrot flock at a popular roosting site in the San Gabriel Valley!
