SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Residents in many San Diego neighborhoods get a daily reminder of the odd inhabitants that are not native to the area.As the sun rises over the region, the squawks can be heard. The wild parrots are awake.While the sight of emerald, red-headed birds has long been gold for local photographers, what has remained a mystery to many is how they arrived in San Diego.Parrot originsAll of the wild parrots in San Diego are birds or descendants of birds brought to the area by people, according to Sarah Mansfield with SoCal Parrot, though some have speculated they migrated from Mexico. Mansfield added the birds weren't released in the area just once."Whether they were released intentionally or accidentally, several 'micro-releases' happened over many years," Mansfield said. "There are five established species of wild parrots in San Diego, and 13 species in Southern California, so it definitely wasn't just a pair or two that got out long ago."It wasn't illegal to buy wild-caught parrots until 1992, when the Wild Bird Conservation Act was signed into law in order to ensure exotic bird species were not harmed by international trade."The birds that were released came from the wild and have remained wild since," she adds.University of San Diego professor Janel Ortiz, who started the San Diego Parrot Project to research the parrots' eating habits and natural behaviors, says parrots may have been here longer than we think. "No parrots are native to California; there has been evidence of the parrots being here in the 1940s and weren't well documented until the 1960s," Ortiz says.Types of parrots in San DiegoCurrently, Mansfield says the main species in San Diego are Mitred Conures, Red-masked Conures, Blue-crowned Conures, Red-crowned Amazons, and Lilac-crowned Amazons.The Mitreds and Red-masked Conures can commonly be seen flocking together, while both Amazons species also live together.Residents may also notice both Consures and Amazons together in the same neighborhood at times, but usually they're not together, Mansfield says.How they survive hereSo how does a bird not native to San Diego find a way to survive?Find another non-native species. The parrots live off non-native fruiting and flowering trees, according to Mansfield. Ornamental trees, including magnolias, loquats, pines, eucalyptus, coral trees, and pecans, give parrots food and shelter all in one."They nest in cavities in the tall palms that line our beach community streets," Mansfield adds, something residents who aren't a fan of the birds' squawks know all too well.San Diego's climate makes their habitats all the more comfortable, as the warmth provides the perfect environment for the parrots. "While they could make a go of surviving in colder weather, they do better with our sunny San Diego temperatures," Mansfield said.Ortiz says San Diego may be one of the last locations where these endangered parrots can survive."Most of these parrots are endangered in their native ranges, but are thriving here in this new, urban habitat we've created," Ortiz said. "Urban places, like San Diego, may be one of the last locations these endangered parrots may be found if their populations continue to dwindle in their native ranges."While the birds are naturalized, meaning they are actively breeding in the area, it's unclear how successful they are at reproducing, Ortiz says.So far, the Parrot Project has observed some species-specific differences such as time to roost, or time they get together at night.Residents can help out by filing out a form online to document parrot sightings. 3607

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- San Diego police are searching for a woman they have identified as a person of interest in a recent homicide case in the Talmadge area.Police believe 25-year-old Sheila Camarena may be linked to a deadly shooting that occurred on Sept. 18, in the 4400 block of Euclid Avenue.According to police, in the early morning hours of Sept. 18, officers responded to a reported shooting in which a 33-year-old Black man was injured.The victim was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was identified by police as Mychael Farve.A witness said the suspected shooter may have fled the scene in the victim’s vehicle, but police did not verify the witness’ statement.Camarena is Hispanic, 5 feet 5 inches tall, and weighs 170 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes, but police noted Camarena is known to dye her hair blonde and/or red.According to police, Camarena is considered armed and dangerous.Anyone with information on her whereabouts or the Sept. 18 case is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to ,000 for information that leads to an arrest in the case. 1153

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - San Diego Border Patrol Sector Chief Rodney Scott spoke to 10 News about his time with President Trump during Tuesday's border wall prototype tour in Otay Mesa. Scott was by Trump's side as he got a closer look at the eight sample walls finished last October. He said the president asked a lot of questions and was curious about the opinions and experiences of the Border Patrol agents.     467

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco are working on a spray designed to block the novel coronavirus from hijacking cells in the body, like a biological mask or internal personal protective equipment.They’re doing it by borrowing a defense mechanism from an unlikely source: llamas.The team, led by UCSF graduate student Michael Schoof, engineered a synthetic molecule based on one found in a llama’s immune system that acts like an antibody but is one-tenth the size.Human antibody treatments, known as convalescent plasma, require a transfusion in a hospital setting. But this smaller molecule, called a nanobody, can be easily self-administered via an inhaler or nasal spray and rapidly manufactured using yeast, Schoof said.The scientists named their product AeroNabs. They say it could be an inexpensive intervention for treating and preventing COVID-19 while the world waits for a vaccine.“We don't know how effective vaccines will be. We don't know how long it will take to rapidly deploy them, so we envision this product as hopefully a bridge until there is widespread, effective vaccination,” Schoof said.Once a vaccine is available, AeroNabs could offer protection for individuals who are unable to be inoculated for health reasons, he said, or an early treatment option.The team is in talks with commercial partners and hopes to begin clinical trials soon.In the 1980s, Belgian scientists discovered that about half of the antibodies in camels, llamas and alpacas are shaped differently than the antibodies found in other mammals, including humans. Researchers later learned they could use a fragment of these oddly shaped camelid antibodies to bind to antigens.Those fragments are called nanobodies.Currently, there is only one FDA-approved drug that uses nanobodies. Caplacizumab was approved last year to treat a rare blood disorder.The team at UCSF sifted through billions of nanobodies to find one that binded best to the spike proteins on the coronavirus, then engineered it to stick even better.The coronavirus uses its spikes to enter cells and replicate; the spikes are essentially the pathogen’s key into the body. By coating the spikes with nanobodies or antibodies, the viral key no longer fits into the body’s receptors and the virus can’t get in.“This works in the lab. It needs to be translated into the clinic,” said Schoof.The team at UCSF still needs to figure out the best delivery method, whether it is a nebulizer, an inhaler or a nasal spray. 2524

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- San Diego Loyal SC players walked off the field in protest Wednesday night after a member of the opposing team allegedly directed a homophobic slur at a team member. According to the SD Loyal officials, a member of the Phoenix Rising used a homophobic slur “directed at Collin Martin.”In response to the incident, the team decided to walk off the pitch in protest.RELATED: San Diego Loyal SC forfeits point due to racial slur"Last week we made it loud and clear that we do not stand for racism or homophobia. Nothing has changed this week," the team said in a tweet. Martin came out as gay in June 2018 while with the Minnesota United. 663
