The Monk Parakeet is a species of parrot, in most treatments the only member of the genus "Myiopsitta". It originates from the temperate to subtropical areas of Argentina and the surrounding countries in South America. Self-sustaining feral populations occur in many places, mainly in North America and Europe.
