Argentinian town battles bird invasion as parrots outnumber people
Briefly

The parrots, driven by deforestation, have invaded the town, biting on electric cables and causing outages, aggravating residents with incessant screeching and droppings.
The hillsides are disappearing, leading the parrots to seek food and shelter in urban areas, with locals reporting a ratio of up to 10 birds for every resident.
Efforts to scare the parrots using noise and lasers have failed, pushing residents to consider strategies for cohabitating with the birds amid ongoing environmental degradation.
Biologist Daiana Lera stressed the need to restore natural environments as a long-term solution, while emphasizing the importance of finding a harmonious way to coexist.
