Eerie Photos of Feral Parrots in Tokyo
By Ellyn Kail on August 22, 2014
“Parrots should not be in Tokyo,” writes photographer Yoshinori Mizutani of the hundreds of green parakeets that have nested in the city’s trees. He’s right: the birds are not native to Japan. They arrived in the 1960s and 1970s as part of the country’s trend toward purchasing exotic species as pets. The rose-ringed parakeets were brought in from their natural habitats in India and Sri Lanka, and when their owners found them too loud and unsuitable for domestic life, they simply let the creatures loose in the city to fend for themselves. Some of the birds were lost or broke free during importation.

LIVINGSTON PARISH, La. (WAFB) - Three days of freezing temperatures and ice have left Livingston Parish, particularly rural areas, in the eerie dark.
Deputies with the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office shared photos of their patrols on icy roads in the parish in the early morning hours of Wednesday, Feb. 17.
Many of the photos were reminiscent of the cinematography from Netflix’s hit show “Stranger Things.”
