Wild Quakers

[bellarains]

As they say, "Great minds think alike"

I just love her paintings, and one of these days I'm just gonna march in there, tell Ross(the owner) that I am taking that painting and he will just have to have me arrested

I not afraid. His Mama loves me

Florida has a lot of feral Quakers and they have actually succeeded in chasing away the wild budgie population that we once had here. They are very hardy and build very large colony nests. They are also very destructive. Fruit growers have a lot of damage from them every year. I lived in NJ until early 1990 and Quaker parrots (Monk Parakeets) have been outlawed there since the late 1960's. They survive the cold weather very well and did a lot of damage to New Jersey's peach crops.
