- Thread-topic: Bluebird chicks and an interloper
What state agencies kill Monk Parakeets? Why? I've seen the huge colonies in a neighborhood near the Miami airport, and they are really fun to see. But I know they're not native, so probably mess up the balance of nature. Although I guess there's a debate between people deciding that the balance of nature can never evolve and doing whatever we need to do to prohibit it, right?
Anyway, just curious.

Hi Sandy and C'birders,
I agree entirely with Sandy. Less we forget in central Michigan USFWS
exterminates Cowbirds to protect Kirtland's Warblers and various state
agencies eliminate Monk Parakeets. So I believe Jenny removing a single
Cowbird egg is appropriate.
