Thousands of noisy corella parrots in Adelaide, Australia, have invaded the northern suburbs of Australia, causing a lot of havoc in the lives of residents, and some say they are almost catching up with plague.
"I live nearby," said local resident Sandy Bandtoc. "I'm familiar with the scene and the sound. Imagine this noise coming three times a day. They come to the next tree at 05:30 in the morning and in the afternoon, and then over 10:00 in the evening. The noise they make sounds terrible. "
In recent years, the parrot has been a frequent visitor to the northern suburbs of Australia, but in the past few weeks they have returned in revenge and quickly besieged the northern suburbs of Adelaide.
"these birds have done a lot of damage and the lights on our streets have been seriously damaged," said Mayor Glenn Docherty. And the trees around them had no leaves, because they ate them all. Now they're not just threatening life in the northern suburbs, they're going to spread across the Adelaide region, and the birds have caused thousands of dollars in damage to the area so far. "
To get rid of this marijuana hassle as soon as possible, authorities have tried to dispel the birds with everything from drones to fireworks, for example, using drones to dispel birds and intimidate them with fireworks, but with little effect. Residents and authorities are calling for the environmental sector to take responsibility and for the state government to take some positive action because the local council has done what it can but there is still no good way to manage or control them in the long run.
"We have started trying to use natural bird predators like falcons to help disperse the birds, but they are still not working very well, and their numbers will continue to grow and create more problems for the community," Docherty said. In a statement, the local environment department said it would work closely with local councils and land administrators as soon as possible to improve the lives of residents and get rid of the trouble. Residents are also advised to use noise and lights to temporarily stop the birds for a few days.
