	Invader of the Month: The Monk Parakeet, Myiopsitta monachus
		Monks are quite vocal and have a wide vocabulary, with many different screeches and squawks and nearly continuous chatter at communal nests (Juniper and Parr 1998, Spreyer and Bucher 1998, Stanley's Quakerville has two audio files you can download).
		Monks are essentially granivorous, eating seeds of plants in the families Poaceae, Asteraceae, and Cyperacea during all times of the year, and seeds of maize and sunflower between February and September (Aramburu 1995).
		Monks were first observed to the north in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1980, representing the northernmost known population of monks, and may have taken hold (Gauthier and Aubrey 1996, Spreyer and Bucher 1998).

	The Monk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Monk is a Gothic novel by Matthew Gregory Lewis that first appeared in 1796.

		Radcliffe’s; for he had been in Germany and there is no doubt that he had taken for his model not merely the poems of Bürger and the other early romantics but the drama and fiction of Schiller and of Heinse, in The Robbers (1781) and in Ardinghello (1785).
		The consequence was that The Monk did not please people even so little squeamish as Byron, and has never, except in a quasi-surreptitious manner, been reprinted in its original form.
		Radcliffe had set the example of inserting verse, sometimes not very bad verse, but she never shows the somewhat loose, but distinctly noteworthy, novel and even influential command of rapid rhythm which was another of Lewis’s oddly flawed, but by no means ordinary, gifts.

		Matthew Gregory Lewis's The Monk, written in ten weeks when the author was nineteen and published in 1796 when he was twenty, is the most lurid of the Gothic novels and, at the same time, one of the most vividly written (a combination guaranteed to produce a best-seller).

		The Monk is perhaps the most significant and certainly the most controversial of the Gothic novels of the late 18th century.
		The Monk is a tale of human evil in its most vile form; the unspeakable acts described in these pages are committed by the supposedly most devout individuals in society.
		With such complexity underlying the plot, The Monk is open to a number of interpretations, and its microscopic portrayal of evil's power to overcome the best of men and women continues to fascinate and leave a lasting impression on one generation of readers after another.
