margun Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 This morning I saw a pair of the green parakeets so common in London in the garden. These things are really spreading...what's the protocol? Shoot on sight? Do these birds cause problems for our native songbirds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Not sure about where the law stands, but there is a possiblity that they could outcompete other birds for nest sites, as they are hole nesters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the info you need about controlling them is in the General Licences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 They can and should be shot whenever you can, as said above general license and under non native species so you need no reason to shoot or to try any methods of scaring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
