In recent years, the population of Quaker parrots in Madrid has exploded, causing significant ecological and economic damage.

These small, green parrots are native to South America, but have been introduced to many parts of the world, including Madrid. They are highly adaptable and can survive in a variety of habitats, including urban areas.

Quaker parrots are considered a pest species because they can cause damage to crops, trees, and buildings. They also compete with native birds for food and nesting sites. In Madrid, they have been known to cause power outages and disrupt traffic.

The city of Madrid has implemented several measures to control the Quaker parrot population, including trapping and shooting. However, these measures have proven to be ineffective in the long term.

It would benefit local wildlife by finding a viable long-term solution to control parrot populations, such as using falconry or habitat modification, if experts were consulted regarding effective techniques
