I say throw them in the stew!!!

Would you like that with or without the bear?

Thanks for the link NJSTEVE ZONE 6. I never heard of these parrots before. Cute little guys.

Quakers are great little parrots -- good talkers, affectionate. Unfortunately, they're illegal to own or sell in NJ. It's a shame, because they're not the danger to the environment people would have you think.

I'd love to see them and I'd welcome them in my yard. Thanks for posting the link.

I've been to Edgewater, and those birds are a pretty noisy bunch. I went to a softball game there, last fall, and while everyone else was looking at the game, I was watching the birds ;)

They've also been spotted in Leonia, but I don't know if they're nesting there yet. It's pretty close to Edgewater. I believe I've already signed the petition.

HELLO ALL,
THE QUAKERS IN EDGEWATERS BILL PASSED.
THAT WAS THE 1ST STEP. THEY WON'T BECOME LEGAL BUT
IF IT BECOMES LAW WHICH WILL TAKE A FEW MORE STEPS
THEY WILL GO TO SANCUTUARY INSTEAD OF BEING EUTHANIZED.
AMERICA SUCCEEDED IN WIPING OUT THE CAROLINA PARAKEET WHICH WAS A SMALL PARROT A LITTLE BIGGER THAN THE QUAKER AND RANGED FROM FL. TO NY. AND OUT MIDWEST TO MICHIGAN.
BACK TO THE QUAKERS. THEY ARE A SMART LITTLE BIRD, THEY MAKE A COMMUNITY NEST AND LIVE IN IT YEAR ROUND UNLIKE ANY OTHER PARROTS KNOWN. THEY HAVE A 2 CHAMBER NEST THE REAR CHAMBER FOR THE BABIES AND THE FRONT CHAMBER FOR THE TEENS. THIS IS HOW THEY SURVIVE THE WINTER BY KEEPING THE FAMILY TOGETHER FOR BODY HEAT.
THE SMART ONES BUILD THEIR COMMUNITY NEST BY THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMERS ON THE POWER POLES. THAT WHY THEIR NESTS ARE DESTROYED IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. HOPING THAT THE BIRDS WILL FREEZE TO DEATH AND BE LESS OF A NUISANCE IN THE FUTURE. THEN THE SPRING BRINGS ANOTHER NEST TEARDOWN
WITH YOUNG IN THE NEST. IF THE BILL PASSES THEY WILL GO TO SANCUTARY. THEY DO NOT DESTROY CROPS OR COMPETE FOR FOOD FROM THE WILD AS ONCE THOUGHT BY THE STATE. THEY SURVIVE FROM THE BACK YARD FEEDERS.
GO SEE THEM AT THE CORNER OF RIVER RD. AND ROUTE 5 IN EDGEWATER NJ JUST LOOK UP IN THE TREES IN THE PARK AND GET SOME ITALIAN PASTRIES OR PIZZA ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PARK. THEY HAVE BEEN THEIR FOR THE LAST 30 YRS. AND HAVE EXPLODED IN POPULATION AS ONCE PREDICTED.
THANK TO ALL WHO SIGNED AND HAVE A GREAT GROWING SEASON.
