2 MaryAnn PlymaleI share my life and home with 3 of these birds and I would feel terrible to know that they are hunted down and killed like this in Barcelona. I would never feel at ease to visit this place, and would do all I could to discourage my friends and family from going to any destination where such cruelty is accepted behavior or buying goods from such a country. There are much more humane ways to deal with an overpopulation problem and I would hope that your government would research this issue before any monk parakeets are slaughtered in such a hideous manner.
3 Kris MalkovskyI find it incredibley cruel to even think about killing beautiful wild parrots. I hope you find it in your hearts to let God's creatures live free.
4 Catherine GwyerI've certainly taken Spain off my fall travel plans as a result of this inhumane approach to the wild parrots. Other cities embrace their wild flocks and in fact are a beloved part of the cities character, is Barcelona that barbaric and narrow minded that they cannot find alternate solutions?
5 angelaPlease don't do this. It is wrong.

16 Jennifer KitzerI will do what ever it takes to get the point across. Dont Kill The Birds , of our world.

18 Catherine HamThis is the worst idea I have ever heard. There is no reason these birds should be hunted.
19 Carrie FosterThis needs to be avoided at all costs. There are other ways to deal with controling a species. The destruction of lives is not the way it should be done.

24 TRACYDO NOT DESTROY THESE PARROTS THEY ARE ONLY MAKING A LIVING TO JUST LIKE US AND I LOVE THESE BIRDS TO WISH I HAD SOME OF THEM MYSELF THANK YOU TRACY
25 AnonymousThese birds are very intelligent, loyal, and amazing creatures when you know them individually as I know them. What you are proposing is a genocide. I recently visited Barcelona and have seen first hand the number of Quaker parrots who live there. They were nesting harmoniously with several other species of birds. I witnessed this personally at Gaudi's Guell. Please reconsider this horrendous act of inhumanity.
26 Amanda DalrympleThis is the saddest thing I've ever heard. How could anyone want to hurt these amazing creatures especially when there are much more humane ways to control the population of the wild cousins. Just breaks my heart. :-(

30 victoria c. marmelsteinConcerned volunteers can easily get together and build "monk bunkers" that the parrots will probably be willing to live in.
31 Arlene MurphyI totally object to this cruel hunt of wild monk parakeets, using lethal means.
32 Amy PhillipsThere are lots of ways to help control the population. The fact that the City of Barcelona is resorting to this "solution" without having taken other courses of action really galls me. It's incredibly unfair to the parrots who are just doing what comes naturally. If the building of alternate nesting sites can be successful in New York, why not Spain?

35 Tammy CokeCivilized Spainards should be able to think of a humane way to deal with nature. Quakers are not a rodent problem.
36 Cliff PattersonPlease, please don't kill them!
37 Jon-Mark DaveyPlease reconsider this lethal decision. Please read "Parrots in the City" for an alternate direction. Thank you
38 Jerry#15..Lisa Gravesen get a clue..youre heartless
39 Carol ZamenskiPlease reconsider the hunt. I know of people who went to Barcelona just to see the parrots and their nests. Look for alternatives. Speak to people who can help with your problem. There are many who would help!!!

43 Pat MillerKilling birds? How uncivilized. I won't be buying any products that come from anywhere in Spain.

45 Jan SantorThe figures used to determine damage done by these birds, does not have any semblance of scientific basis nor careful study and crop census. Quaker nests rarely fall, let alone on human beings and there is no damage to the trees from the pruning of small twigs (Quakers do not use large branches) for nesting materials. In fact, trees benefit from pruning especially when it occurs in nature with animal interaction rather than human intervention. This is a bad idea, bad for nature, bad for a species of animal and a waste of nature's resources, for they will not be killed for human or animal consumption, just killed for the sake of killing them.

48 Deborah AlperinIf you understood how INTELLIGENT they are you would do things to support them!
49 Steve BaldwinQuaker Parakeets can live alongside humans in cities with no ill effects to wildlife or humans. The fact that the City of Barcelona is now apparently resorting to lethal methods of wild parrot control indicates a major management failure. There are many humane, non-lethal solutions which work, but it appears that these have not been explored. Resorting to cruelty represents a colossal failure of municipal management. And who pays? The birds, who did not choose to be in Barcelona to begin with, but were brought there by the for-profit pet trade.
