报载纽约皇后区白石镇的部分街区因鹦鹉在高压电线杆上筑巢而导致多次停电。这消息听起来有点儿不可思议。我马上背起相机前去一探究竟。一看，情况要比我想象的严重得多。我转了十几个街区，发现几乎每条街都有几根电杆被筑了巢。鹦鹉巢的特点是奇大无比，比我见过的任何鸟巢都大得多。有的甚至是一根电杆上两个巢连环套在一起。而且巢里的鹦鹉们仍在不停地衔来树枝加建扩建。一个巢里住着五六只到七八只鹦鹉不等。纽约地区本来没有野生鹦鹉，有的只是家养的宠物。那末它们是从哪里来的呢？据说数年前布鲁克林的一个走私宠物鸟的据点发生意外，使得一批鹦鹉得以逃脱。它们的繁殖力极强，适应野外环境的能力也不差，没多久从布鲁克林到皇后区的许多地方都可以看到他们的踪迹。它们喜欢在高压电线杆上筑巢，据说是为了冬季取暖。爱迪生电力公司每修复一次它们所引起的停电都要花费好几万元。电力公司已决心要拆除这些鹦鹉巢。但北美野生动物保护组织势力十分强大，能否就这样拆掉还很难说。让我们拭目以待。

这两只鹦鹉正在构思它们的新家。又一个鹦鹉巢即将诞生。
