*What do you think is the best solution to control millions of wild parrots in Australia?*

[@yesidovlogs]

I think it's better to take all their eggs to control the quantity, the parrot eggs are edible😅😅😅

As was mentioned, the galahs, cockies and budgies do way less damage to crops and farms than introduced species such as feral pigs, deer , rabbits and farmers who clear the birds natural environment for monoculture crops.

[@chrmnlp4413]

We live on the edge of a large town in Queensland. We get rainbow lorikeets, galahs, cockatoos, magpies, king parrots, corellas, native doves and other wild birds flying in every afternoon for a feed. It is very pretty to see but they can make an awful racket at times. They are wild birds all of them but they will land on me and eat out of my hand. We feed them wild parrot food. You have to feed them properly or they can get sick. At night, the lorikeets settle in a nearby tree and argue and screech at each other. The noise can be deafening. The cockies are the most destructive - they chew and destroy everything eg TV aerials, pegs on the clothes line, wooden windows trims, awnings, gutters, any wires attached to the house. They also screech when the food is late getting out. They will rattle and chew on the screen door until the food arrives. We have replaced 3 in 10 years.

You also need to look at the other side of it. Video talks about 'polluting' parrots. Well, it's nothing compared to the pollution created by Australia's awful farming techniques. Sure, some species are overwhelming. Others are extinct or on the verge of extinction, thanks to habitat loss caused by farming.

[@cacogenicist]

We have parrots in N. America, but not north of Mexico (unless you count some escaped, breeding invasives in Florida). We used to have a native parrot in the USA, the Carolina Parakeet -- of course we utterly obliterated them by the early 20th century, because they were a nuisance to farmers. Don't do the same in Australia.
