I wonder if the wild quakers are filling a niche left empty by
the extinction of the Carolina parakeet. I read that the
Carolina parakeet loved cockleburs. Do quakers like cockleburs
Of course the Carolina parakeet didn't have very many
telephone lines to build their nests on but they did nest
communally with several females sharing a nest and eggs. They
were regarded as agricultural pests because they ate the fruit
& grain crops.
That's exactly what people are afraid the quakers are going to
do, raid the fruit & grain crops. If the quakers' wild
population in the USA grows, will history repeat iteself?
Here's a pic of a Carolina parakeet, dead but still beautiful.
