Thank you for this link Jay, how very interesting! Watching a flock of exotic birds in this country must be a sight to behold!

 

I guess it's only a metter of time before the powers that be announce a cull is needed to keep numbers down :angry: :angry: :angry:

It's already happened! They culled them last year. There's two sides to it though - they were destroying vast amounts of arable farming land etc and putting farmers into bankruptcy. So, although I love our feathered friends, I do understand that they can't be allowed to wreak havoc too

Thats so sad that some have to be destroyed like that, such beautiful creatures. :(

They are also being captured by scum to be sold on as "baby parrots, tame and talking" My first parrot was a victim of this, they operate in different areas up and down the country. If anyone sees an ad in their local paper please report it to as many people as possible. Ive tried to everytime they advertise in my area and so have quite a few others but because its a national thing no one seems to want to get involved, maybe if there were more complaints some one may decide to to something. I did manage to get the ad pulled from our paper the last time which is something i suppose.
