20050713 - Bet Zimmerman thinks non-native monk parakeets that escaped
from a crate in southern Connecticut last week will mess up the
ecosystem for other birds. If other control options are not effective,
she thinks euthanasia is an option that should be
considered for non-native invasive species. She is photographed
next to her bluebird feeder at her home in Woodstock Valley. (Brian
