My neighborhood in Metairie (western suburb of New Orleans) has a good supply of wild Monk Parrots (also known as Quakers). I would like to attract them to my backyard feeders but haven't found out what they like. I've tried mixed seeds, fruits, etc. I even tried putting out little tomatoes in the backyard lawn. I've seen them twice in my nextdoor neighbors crepe myrtle tree -- see picture. I hear them a lot and see them fly over but they rare stop by. I would love to have them visit my feeders.
