The UK Dept of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has
declared two species of Parakeet persona non grata. DEFRA has
announced plans to remove the UK population of Monk Parakeet, by
relocation, nest destruction or shooting. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13181503
DEFRA has also declared open season on Rose-ringed Parakeet, removing their protected status and allowing landholders to shoot them without a licence. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/8284962.stm & http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/surrey/hi/people_and_places/nature/newsid_8286000/8286707.stm It certainly is becoming less easy being green in the UK.
