at least, i would expect it.
we have tons of monks here, san fran has the conures, florida is littered w parrots esp since hurricane andrew.
why wouldnt tokyo, such a dense city, so hip, have plenty of escapes?

these are alexandrines, for anyone wondering. a big family of cool birds.

lovely pics, tho.
a tad spoiled by stupid writing.
but hey.......
