    Believe it or not there a flock of wild Quaker parrots that have been able to survive the harsh New England Winters for over 30 years, just to be killed by nightly crews, with police protection, who's sole purpose is to gas these wild birds...

    All this is paid for by Fedural and State Tax $$$!!! The crews are from the USDA. Sadly the plan has been backed by those bird loving people from the Audobon Society (can you say "pay-off)...I digress. Please at least look at the following petition...debate, research this topic and share with others!!!

    Yeah..they should definately capture them. All creatures are here for one purpose or another, invasive or not. I don't think whiping them out is really up to us.

    First off Zeke, the euthanization of Monk Parakeets has already been stopped to find a better solution. And who would be paying off the Audubon Society? Bird haters? That doesnt make any sense.

    http://www.house.gov/shays/news/2005/december/decparakeet.htm

    Also, they do have to be removed, their an invasive species which is bad for local agriculture, they are loud and problematic, and they build their nests near transforemers which has caused several fires. Their population is growing very rapidly, which would only intensify problems.
