Culling invasive Kramers parrot to start in Tenerife

[clive Grazalema]

The Department of Environment and Animal Welfare of the La Laguna City Council (Tenerife) will collaborate with the Neotrópico Foundation in a program to control populations of Kramer’s parrot (Psittacula krameri), a species classified as an invasive exotic that creates problems for local biodiversity.

“The process of capturing and removing parrots by the Neotrópico Foundation, in collaboration with the City Council, will begin on May 1st of this year and will be accompanied by an environmental education campaign that will sensitize the local population about the danger of abandoning exotic pets in general, and parrots in particular.”

The article is a bit confusing as it seems to state that all the captured parrots will be held in captivity rather than killed, a bit odd really. https://lifeinvasaqua.com/otras-eei-laguna-inicia-control-de-la-cotorra-de-kramer-especie-invasora/
