In that case there's a good argument for a civil (as against criminal) case against these two (and the company) to recover those damages.



What damages though? They are wild parrots -- not bred parrots (i.e. property that can be damaged). So a civil claim for damages in this case will be thrown out.

I hope the two guys were let off easy because the Victorian DPP intends to get the companies (the real culprits in this case) big time.
