Article fraîchement paru sur la perception de la Perruche à collier au Royaume-Uni 🦜🇬🇧

Would like to see such a fascinating study in Germany as well. Here, even nature conservation organisations look after RNPs. There is even a pop song that compares this #invasivespecies with humans making most discussions highly emotional. #invasivespeciesdenialism
