During the first 45 years of my life, if I wanted to see a parrot I had to either go abroad, or to some friends who had one in a big cage, or at the zoo. Then roughly during the last 7-10 years they started to appear first near the south west areas then they took the entire city. Now I hear and see them every day flying out of my window.

Also seagulls, that were nowhere to be seen away from the sea (which is over 30km from here) until years ago, now build their nests on roofs and can attack people to protect their eggs. As an upside, at least they took over pigeons.

Not sure if it's due to the global warming, still worth of attention.

Seagulls can travel quite some distance from the coast.

The state bird of Utah is rather famously the California Seagull. Salt Lake City is 730 mi (1200 km) from San Francisco.
