Jersey Parrots Win Small Victory in Trenton

I was in Trenton last Thursday with a group of fellow pro-monk parrot citizens, testifying on behalf of the Jersey Monks before the State Assembly Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. It was an enlightening experience and I am glad to say that NJ Bill A1237, which removes the monk parakeet from the list of "potentially dangerous" species, was released from the committee after receiving a unanimous bi-partisan vote. Today, the Bergen Record published a good article summarizing Thursday's events.
