Can you have finger monkey in California?
They're legal if you are a zoo, or a licensed trainer for the studios or, perhaps, an animal park but for a private citizen to keep as a pet, no they are not. California has some of the toughest exotic pet laws in the country. Ferrets, for example, are not legal pets in California. Neither are hedgehogs or sugar gliders. When you compare the size and absolute suitability for domestication of these smaller animals, and examine their ubiquity in other states, you will understand at least from a legal point of view why keeping a pet marmoset in this state would be unthinkable.

If you are asking where New World monkeys live, they can be found in the rainforests of Central and South America.
Parrots are generally not nest-builders like other birds are. They shelter in hollows in trees or, for ground-dwelling parrots, hollows dug out in the ground or made in dry heath. The only parrot which builds a nest of sticks is the Quaker Parrot, also known as the Monk Parakeet, of South America.

Is there such a thing as a gay animal?
Dear Cecil:
Living in a heavily gay neighborhood as I do, I have seen my share of leather freaks, transvestites, and lesbian couples making out at the beach.
My question is, are such carryings-on a uniquely human phenomenon? Do our friends the animals ever get unnatural urges? Do monkeys, cats, dogs, etc., ever frequent gay bars, collect Barbra Streisand records, or speak with a lisp?
Please, Cecil, I have a desperate need to know these things.

Dear Straight:
You asked for it, pal. Herewith the contents of my entire file on kinky animal habits. Kinky monkey habits, actually. Warning: it ain't pretty. Read at your own risk.
(1) There really are such things as gay monkeys.
Animals usually engage in homosexual behavior only when crowded, deprived of normal heterosexual contact, or otherwise subjected to stress. However, Erwin and Maple (1976) describe two male rhesus monkeys who lived together for 19 months and engaged in "reciprocal mounting with anal penetration."
When paired individually with females, the male monkeys would exhibit conventional heterosexual behavior. However, when the two were put in a cage together with a female, they would hassle her and direct all their affections toward each other.
(2) Monkeys make use of artificial instruments of lust. Ford and Beach (1951) tell of a female chimpanzee of low morals and even lower intelligence who attempted to achieve carnal union with a mango.
Her technique consisted of placing the mango upon her external genitalia and awaiting the arrival of sexual bliss. When after some moments it became apparent that this might be a long time coming, the chimp placed the mango on the floor, sat on it, and twisted and rubbed against it with vigor.
Bingham (1928) reports a somewhat more imaginative chimp who availed herself of a leafy twig, which she installed below decks and then rubbed against the bars of her cage.
(3) Some male monkeys can (and do) lick their own ... oh, never mind. Spider monkeys also use their prehensile tails to stimulate themselves.
(4) Monkeys engage in oral sex, mutual masturbation, and other similar activities.
I have a photograph here from a book of sex research (a perfectly sober volume, let me assure you) showing a male gorilla administering oral gratification to his lady.
He does this by climbing up on her thighs, leaning down, and perching on his head. The effect is not as graceful as it might be. A younger male gorilla observes with interest from the sidelines.
Elsewhere in the book we find detailed renderings of various positions from the monkey Kama Sutra, drawn from life by dedicated researchers. No doubt about it, zoologyoffers some fascinating career opportunities.
