Now I'm confused again... They've been there since the 70s... Your caption said new domain, so I was thinking those specific birds were very new to the specific spot they were photographed at
The 1970s is pretty recent in evolutionary terms! It was just a way to say that these birds are beautiful and fun but they're also an invasive species.

Here nobody pays any attention to them, basically they're pigeons but greener and LOUDER. I believe they were eating trash. Alas.

An urban car park far from South America.

Oh! Ok, that makes sense. This is what happens when I try and over think things before my coffee has kicked in :P
