Several of them are breeding. Budgies are a common sight at Bay Pines Medical Center, Nanday Conures are all over Clearwater, Quakers are everywhere, Mexican Red Head Amazons are nesting in the Australian Pines at the Breakers in Palm Beach: oddly, I have not heard of any colonies of cockatiels in the state

Right, I'm talking about the civilized birds that live in the cities. I don't mess around in swamps...there's things that actively want to eat you! There is a woman in Miramar (almost swamp) that has 18 Blue and Gold Macaws that visit her bird feeder daily.

For most of the list, they are breeding. They just have not become established. The difference is that a breeding population is one group of birds. They haven't yet broken up into numerous flocks. More flocks increases the survivability of the species

Many of the large birds Toos and Macaws) take as long as a year to a year and a half to fully wean, their parents won't lay until their off-spring are weaned so the flock grows very slowly. They will split when the flock is big enough as this prevents too much competition for food and mates.
