Some stadium lights in New York City needed to be moved, and there were Quaker Parrots nesting there, so the department of animal control came out and had a huge rescue operation to get all the babies and have them raised safely. We see shots of neighbors that like the quaker parrots and such. It made me feel good about the care taken for the birds.

This is just wrong. Parrots are expendable.

That is a horrible thing to say... Parrots are sweet birds... if you want to talk about birds that are expendable, look at pigeons... Not to sound wrong or anything but the last time they were useful was only back in WW2; nowadays, the only things pigeons do is get scraps off the streets and leaving white spots on cars...

We used to have a native parrot in the United States, but we expended, er, ate them all when the nation was young. That was the Carolina Parakeet, and these descendants of escaped pet-market birds are the only thing we have (these aren't the only species of transplant parrots here: I spent my college years being awakened by double yellow headed amazons from the Pasadena trees).

I would love it if quaker parrots lived near me, wild in the trees, and I would happily volunteer to help them if they needed to be relocated.
