I think many exotics are surviving despite us. Who has caused more problems to the environment? People who hunt monkeys as a source of food , people poaching for the pet trade, deforestation of millions of acres of habitat for these animals?

In many areas of the US a parrot wouldn't stand a chance living outside. However, in other areas people who didn't want their parrots anymore, or that lost their parrots they are forming large flocks in the wild. A long time ago we had parrots in the US but they are now extinct. Curious, if the accidental introduction of parrots into our ecosystem is a very bad thing or a somewhat good thing.

There are populations of parrots in Southern CA. I have not heard if they are breeding populations, or merely feral birds that have flocked together.
