Parrots are known for being adaptable, but you might not expect to see them in the trees of snowy Stuttgart. Yet it’s true: Around 50 yellow-headed Amazon parrots live in this German city. And they don’t just survive here – they thrive.

From making the most of the daily commute to major success in breeding, the Stuttgart parrots are of great interest to conservationists. With wild parrot numbers in sharp decline and more cities across the globe reporting urban parrot populations, could they offer hope for their species’ future?
