Brookbit: Red Hook Parrots Actually Rebuilding

As it turns out, the photo of the Red Hook parrots that a reader kindly passed along to us this week has a back story. These aren't the first parrots that have staked out real estate in the Hook. Our most knowledgeable Red Hook sources writes, "They were there a few years ago with a massive nest filling almost that whole rack. Nest was removed. Maybe more than once." We can only think of one entity that might climb all the way to top of very tall light poles in a park to take down parrot nests.--GL Inbox
