Parrakeets
“At one time parrakeets were among the best known birds,” writes Mr R. A. Falla in Forest and Bird, published by the Forest and Bird Protection Society of New 1 Zealand. ■“Because of failure of food supplies in the bush in bad seasons, enormous numbers invaded farms and ■orchards where there was fruit and ripening grain. Every possible method of extermination .was used against them, and they perished in such, numbers that they have never been so common since.”
