Parrot invasion of Athens parks worries ornithologists

The numbers of these unusual, for the skies of Greece, birds  have mutiplied so much that the Hellenic Ornithological Society carried out a Christmas operation in urban areas (in Athens, Thessaloniki and other urban areas) in the hope of learning the breadth of this "avian colonization".
