No, I was kidding; it isn’t really that worldly. But the neighborhood has gone from 95% “white-European” to about 70% and the rest Hispanic in the last 14 years. One of the ‘original’ Hispanics is the Godmother for our two girls. The newer Hispanics are mostly OK also but they leave their parakeets outside when it’s too cold and the birds keel over one after another ( as a long time keeper of budgies I hate to see that).
One of my friends from Puerto Rico keeps parakeets, but she has a sunroom.
