There are a lot of various kinds of exotic birds flying around Los Angeles too... presumably most are escaped pets. I once saw a flock of assorted parrots, parakeets, etc., near the Convention Center. The climate here is more benign than in Western Europe, and I'm surprised parrots can survive the winters there.
Intrigued, I googled "Escaped parrots in Los Angeles" and found this:
