Parakeets Invading Britain

(London, England) About 100 to 150 wild parakeets are being targeted for extermination.

Parakeets living wild in Britain could be culled because they pose a threat to native wildlife and are damaging food crops.

The green, yellow and grey birds are originally from South America but are living wild in the south of England after being released from captivity in the 90s.

But conservationists have called on the animals to be rehomed rather than shot.

Rehomed?

Excuse me for being skeptical about the danger of 100 to 150 parakeets. I suspect the parakeet problem is exaggerated.
