For Invaders, Cute Doesn't Count

As was stated in the article, Parakeets are not native to the US, they are native to South America.

We routinely have problems with non native species being introduced where they don't belong. Zebra mussels, various species of fish, plants, frogs, and efforts are underway all the time to eradicate the non native species as they really do upset the ecosystem.

I'm going to edit this, I think I came off a bit harsh when I first replied.

If the number of feral parakeets is in a manageable range, perhaps the could capture them and send them back to an ecosystem that would be more applicable to them. Otherwise, they may have only two choices. Either let the birds continue to live as they are, or eliminate them through various methods.

Modifying the transformers to be "bird proof" would be tough and probably expensive, given the voltage range the transformers are operating in. Transformers are very carefully designed and built for their applications, and modifying them would take time.
