Myiopsitta monachus
Monk Parakeet. They are originally from South America but they live in Mexico now due to birds escaped from captivity. They build bulky stick nests among the branches, both for raising young and for sleeping in at night (last 2 photos).
They were in big yucas in a hotel garden.
A friend of mine told me about the nests but I was lucky to find the parakeets.

Thank you Ashley and Joshua.
Nice bird, Luis! I've seen them here in TX, but they aren't supposed to be here :)
Cool shots Luis!
