Spectacular scene in the town of Nowra, Australia when thousands of parrots flock together to occupy.

Australian town miserable because of being occupied by white parrots Thousands of white parrots flock to the resort town of Nowra in New South Wales, Australia, creating an unbelievable scene resembling the one in the movies of talented horror director Alfred Hitchcock. White parrots occupy many areas, from light poles, gathering on lawns and rooftops of people, to messy trash cans they rummage through in search of food.

Not when the landscape is all white, people in the area also complain about the annoying noises that the birds make. This was a rare sight in town. Photos and videos of white birds congregating on the streets of Nowra went viral on social media. In the last few years, local people sometimes have to share the same area with white-feathered parrots. Although, many of them dislike or even hate parrots, most can’t do anything about them. A local Nowra resident said: “White-feathered parrots are thought to be pests, they destroy a lot of trees in the area. I have to repeatedly wipe their feathers from everywhere.” If you just look at the photos, many people will find it interesting, but the loud cries and droppings that the parrots leave everywhere will make many people clamor. However, as it is a protected species, locals have little choice when it comes to dealing with the birds. If you’re driving or walking through the Nowra region, it’s not uncommon to see flocks of parrots perched on power lines, car parks, and billboards. They don’t mind rolling around in the grass, picking up food in the trash or sliding down the roof to play. Sometimes they even make a big invasion that covers a long distance together. White-haired parrots have occupied Nowra for a long time. In fact, experts have been warning about this for years. These birds are very intelligent, they have ‘brain’, like a child about 2 years old so they quickly found out that it is better to move to an artificial cozy area than to arid wilderness in New South Wales. Since before the 1950s, white feathered parrots appeared in some urban areas and now they are ubiquitous. “We created a better habitat for the parrots and they arrived as expected,” said the expert at the University of South Australia. The spacious lawns of Nowra, surrounded by tall trees, and easily accessible water, are the perfect habitat for white parrots. Many fear white-feathered parrots will soon become a nuisance to major urban centers such as Melbourne and Adelaide. However, this would definitely be much better than the town being invaded by giant foxes.
