Anyone willing to help me ID this parrot? Is it an African Grey or an Amazon?

We've had a ton of goldfinches, blue jays, chickadees, and a couple of hairy woodpeckers at our feeders during this snow. The jays and finches never seem to be there at the same time though, I'm guessing they don't get along.
Then last night this guy showed up and hung out on our porch for an hour. I hope he sticks around, there's plenty of mice and squirrels on our farm for snacks.

I need a hawk or bird of prey to clear out some mourning doves. There's way too many of them.

I'm getting a lot of bird ads and I'm not complaining

Here's another one. quirky ads but I'm not buying anything.

Sometimes the wikipedia front page delivers little gems.

Been reading a book about birds lately and it mentioned about how some European birds got introduced to the New World by settlers.
Which made me wonder, if some migratory birds move to the south in the winter, that would still work in North America, because they would just cross the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Mediterranean and be probably fine.
But are there examples of birds being introduced to habitats in the southern hemisphere? Were they able to adjust their migration behavior?
Tried looking it up but wasn't really sure what to even google for so I hope some of you might have something smart to say.

You're welcome for this atrocity of a map I found when looking for an image to post with this. I'm sorry.

90% sure this is Hispaniolan woodpecker
Very bad at flying, almost flew into me and other people, probably tied to the fact it’s missing one eye and the other one is a cloudy grey.

It's only early Feb, and already, in northern Illinois, I've heard and seen a few flocks of Canada geese going north. In my experience such indicators are solidly dependable, nothing like the silliness of groundhog myths and such. .

had a red tailed hawk once stay in my area. Whenever it was soaring in the sky, the little birds would become petrified in fear at the hopes of not becoming its next meal.

Wood pigeons and magpies are having turf war in my backyard, what should i do ?

Pick a side. Leave them snacks. Harry the other side. Return to flock.

>constant birds drinking from it

>not a single bird uses it even on hot days
never should've put in effort.

New Zealand had a ton of stupid stuff introduced but dont think any of them are migratory. Also Barn Swallows have started vreeding in South America and possibly South Africa.

In Britain, the Egyptian Geese are kind of adapting to local season but most will still breed way to early in spring due to their southern hemisphere origin.

Why are birds so fucking cool?

How do I befriend crow[s]? There's some that hang around my apartment and I want to become a crow friend

This bird and his friend were weird. Both had fluffed up feathers. He kept sitting around the dumpster and wouldn't immediately run away. I even got my hand a couple inches from him before he walked away. Then he napped under some garbage for a while and went away.

Try throwing individual seeds to bait them closer to you.
