Note:
(a) 贵格鹦鹉 Monk Parakeet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monk_Parakeet
(also known as Quaker Parrot/Parakeet; originates from the temperate to
subtropical areas of Argentina)

(i) I have located no web site that explains Monk or Quaker.
(ii) parakeet (n; Middle French perroquet parrot)
www.m-w.com

(b) 非洲灰鹦鹉 African Grey Parrot
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Grey_Parrot

The most famous was Alex. See
Benedict Carey, Alex, a Parrot Who Had a Way With Words, Dies. New York
Times, Sept. 10, 2007.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/10/science/10cnd-parrot.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=alex%20%20%20parrot&st=cse

(i) The last name Carey came from two towns of that name (one in Devon and
the other in Somerset, UK), each in term derived the name from the river
flowing through that town (both are called River Carey).

(c) 联合爱迪生公司 Consolidated Edison (Con Edison)
www.coned.com

(d) This VOA report may be associated with

Parrots in Brooklyn
http://theenvironmentreport.org/story.php?story_id=4865

somehow. While there, if you click the first item ("A website dedicated to
the Brooklyn parrots"), you will reach a web site whose bottom states, "
Steve Baldwin, Webmaster, BrooklynParrots.com"
