The Madrid City Council has already started its plan to wipe out almost the entire population of Argentine and Kramer’s parrots. During the next two years, 90% of the population of these invasive alien species will be reduced through the capture of specimens with the help of cages and nets as well as the sterilization of the eggs. The goal for 2023 is to leave only 10% of this population, which in turn must be controlled to avoid, again, its “uncontrolled increase”.
