Myiopsitta monachus
No es una especie de loro que vocalice muchas palabras, pero en cambio posee una amplia varidad de chillidos y graznidos. En realidad si se los cría desde pichones y se les enseña aprenden melodías, reproduciéndolas con silbidos y, si se les enseña, también pueden cantar canciones; tienen una memoria muy buena. En la naturaleza vuelan en ruidosas bandadas a gran velocidad, nunca levantando las alas por encima del cuerpo, y aleteando constantemente
Ampliamente distribuida por otras partes del mundo debido a escapes y sueltas de animales de jaula.

Leaving the Alameda station, following in the garden, at a distance of + - 50 meters to the east, there is a terrace bar. I will be there at 11:00 pm, I'll go with my Dalmatian dog.
Best regards.
We plan to go to Valencia tomorrow to look for this bird. We will take a train from Lliria to Alameda in the morning so probably get there around 10:45 or 11:15, depending which train we catch.
Malcolm: There are many in the palm of Jacinto Benavente Avenue (on the map of my spotting is well located). I have placed in the spotting videos, they get along very well the rhythm of the music of the source of the Palau de la Música.
If you have questions you can ask. Regards.
We see a lot of this family (Psittacidae) in and around Valencia, especially in and around Jardin del Real Viveros, and also in our urbanisation about 35 kms NW. Plan to post pix later. I didn't see this particular species so far, which location did you see it?
Peter, what joy, you think of everything.
Lori: yes, this is what happens here for 15-20 years, but so far not a problem.
We are working on integrating a translation feature in the near future. This will help our multilingual community :)
In English, we call that bird a "Monk parrot". Unfortunately escaped parrots are becoming a real problem all over the world.
El vídeo es genial. No sabía que las cotorras podían llevar el ritmo tan bien!
