Parrots invade boro neighborhood

By Tom Ferraris, Whitestone

The time has come for Whitestone residents to consider changing the name of their neighborhood to “Parrotville.”

It seems that within the last four or five years, Whitestone has been invaded by hundreds of these pretty but loud, exotic creatures. If I did not know any better, I would believe that most of them have taken up residence in my and my neighbor's backyards.

Please do not misunderstand me: I do not hate animals, but I have recently purchased a set of earplugs and am trying to communicate with them telepathically to convince them to fly south.

If mental telepathy fails, I might head south.
