Bird feeders may sustain feral Rose‐ringed parakeets Psittacula krameri in temperate Europe [PDF]
Wildlife Biology, 2011 Abstract The Rose‐ringed parakeet Psittacula krameri, a bird species of subtropical origin, has established feral populations in temperate Europe. We analysed the feeding habits of Rose‐ringed parakeets near Paris, France, in order to assess if food provided by humans might contribute to the success of this invasive bird species.
