ive just heard, that authorities in wiesbaden will set the parakeet on a grey list, because the authorities suspecting, that the parakeets are dangerous for other birds. promptly ive wrote a readers letter to the paper how cruel it would be. i am shocked. hope, more readers and citizens will take action for the parakeets.
