RING OUZEL.LOCKWOOD RES;AD MED GULL,55 Lapwings.(KJM). Central Library reports of parakeet heads being left on window
ledges culprit unknown (Ozzy Osbourne or a Peregrine I suspect). (Good
luck to him/her/it in continuing to right the ecological balance - ) - A
silly, spurious argument, frankly. Parakeets provide some welcome
exotic colour. The argument about 'right[ing] the ecological [which you
spell incorrectly] balance' is spurious because you are using it
selectively - I'm sure you wouldn't start blasting Little Owls out of
trees, for example. Maybe because Little Owls do little damage whereas
Parakeets do more? Of course it's selective, some species have more
impact than others.-(Great Spotted Woodpecker 12.00hrs).
I believe
Dave Harris of the Surrey Bird Club may be of assistance here - He
viewed Peregrines at Walton Res. for a number of years treating
Parakeets as light snacks and beheading the victims before eating a
little and discarding (if I remember rightly) (Neil Batten). The
Peregrines at CXH have made Parakeets a specialty of theirs (Nathalie Mahieu). THIS
PAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR RECORDING THE LATEST SIGHTINGS. IF YOU WANT
TO ARGUE THE MERITS OF PRESERVING OR CULLING PARAKEETS, USE ANOTHER.(WIKI WARS I LOVE IT).
