A little off topic but I figured it's worth mentioning-

I live in CT now and the Monk Parakeets build their nests on the power company's poles. The power company has recently started a practice of extracting the nests and having all of the Parakeet's killed. I cannot believe that they are getting away with this.

: I am a student at Nova Southeastern University. I am doing a research project on Monk Parakeets. I am looking for information on their impact on the environment. Does anyone know if the monks have replaced a species. Have they interupted any ecological niches?
