Wild Parrots in UK Get a Break

Tireless work by pro-wild parrot activists in the UK to save the remaining wild Monk Parakeets (AKA Quaker Parrots) from eradication has been rewarded with action by the locality of Hertfordshire to cease eradication efforts by DEFRA if these efforts occur on local land. Activists have also prepared a report, which you can download, meant to counter claims by DEFRA that these parrots need to be wiped out because they threaten crops, the electrical infrastructure, and other species.

A new web site, http://parakeets.effigacy.co.uk/, has been created for interested parties to download this report.
