Moore Lab of Zoology's Follow the Flock
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, 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!
