There were two monk parakeets nesting in Colorado Springs in the mid 90s, but because of the large nest they made on a utility pole they were captured and transferred to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I do not know if they are still living there.

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Hi, Today in the Boulder Daily Camera is an article about a man who raises Monk Parakeets, which supposedly is against the law--- In the article they state that feral flocks of Monk parakeets are found in a number of states including Colorado? I have never heard of feral flocks of Monk Parakeets in Colorado. Does anyone out there know of the existence of such feral flocks in Colorado? Curious???
