30-6 Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 In Majorca at the moment perusing you tube. Didn't realize how much of a pest parrots and budgies are to farmers and home owners alike. Along with feral pigs, rabbits, foxes, mice and wild cats it's a pest controllers nightmare. Probably missed out a few species as well. Wonder how Chris Packham would defend them.

Walker570 Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Yes, because they are 'pretty' of course folks think they are harmless. I saw that video and amazing just how many there are. We will have a similar problem here with the green hook bills, in fact they where a problem 20yrs or more ago in the fruit orchards of Kent.
