Since the species is not native to Florida, they are not protected by state law and poachers can legally capture the birds and their chicks for the lucrative pet trade. Watching the local population dwindle, Feinstein fights to raise awareness and protect her beloved birds for future generations in this short by Day's Edge Productions (www.daysedge.com/).

"Threats to natives: Members of the parrot family carry Newcastle disease, identified in 1971, which can infect native songbirds, game birds, domestic chickens and turkeys, and other exotic bird species. The native bird species can be infected by smuggled exotic birds and birds not properly quarantined that are released into the wild. This species also breeds in cavities which might limit the number available to native cavity nesters."

    • You didn't provide a citation, and I could not locate an author or date to access the publication. The Miami population are transient. They are noninvasive. From what I could discern of your excerpt, the concern is pet species being released into the environment, not transients. Improperly released pet species always introduce possibility of vector transmission. The issue is we won't know until it occurs. However, other species, native and nonnative, provide a continuous flow of disease and parasite transmission all the time, every day. This is normal. It should be noted that transient species are functionally native, as is the case with the Florida macaw.

  • These parrot are awesome and all but they arent living in their native range so it’s the right thing to do not many local people seem to get that. That’s why it should be ok for them to be taken out of the Miami and why Florida fishing wildlife shouldn’t have any laws about them in my opinion. Would you rather have them taken in from their native range where they are most likely endangered? The parrots in Miami are still considered invasive cause they complete for the fruits and nuts native birds would eat.

This woman luring her birds into similar cages as the ones she denounces has the same impact to biodiversity regardless of her intention (her 6 Macaws are also not in the wild, they don’t count towards the 44 that used to be there). I find the same disconnect in my research, people blame poachers and refuse to see how they too are complicit.

    • I would agree with you regarding her first parrot. The lady - according to her story - saved the bird from drowning after the hurricane. So I agree with you regarding this "I saved the bird" statement, because that saving may have been her nice interpretation of capturing the bird. And the bird was probably wild because it would have a ring, and would be registered so she could find the owner. Other birds are not lured in - I saw rings, which means they were bought legally at some point, and she has taken them into custody when original owners could not care for them any more. And that is a very common thing especially with large parrots.
