Oddity Central
Every year, Hilario Ascasubi, a town in the south of Argentina’s Buenos Aires province, is invaded by tens of thousands of noisy cliff parrots that cause millions of dollars in damage.
The people of Hilario Ascasubi have been “under siege” by a giant colony of parrots for several years now, but many are complaining that things are getting worse every year. The parrot population is growing, and so is the level of property damage they cause. The green-feathered birds love nothing more than biting on electrical and internet wires, driving providers crazy in a neverending race to keep networks in working order. Bird droppings on sidewalks and streets are also a big problem, as is the constant noise the birds make night and day. Many of the 5,000 inhabitants of Hilario Ascasubi are at their wits’ end, claiming that they can’t go on living alongside the birds, but there isn’t much local authorities can do. more
A mom buys an old parrot from a whorehouse..
A mom buys an old parrot in a whorehouse and proceeds to bring it home for the family to enjoy their new pet.
As she brings the parrot inside the house the parrot says “ah, new house!” and she bursts in laughter.
Later that day, the daughters arrive from school and promptly the parrot says “ah, new house, new prostitutes!” and they all burst in laughter.
Some time goes by, and after a long day of work the dad finally arrives home, and without wasting time, the parrot says “ah, new house, new prostitutes, same old customers. Good night Mr. Williams”
Owls and snakes eat parrots, and those aren’t their only predators. Feral cats, rats, and (according to the web) sugar gliders also are parrot eaters. I think my choice would be owls.

Thanks, I was just going to comment on if it was a Norwegian blue pining for the fiords.
Send them a couple bus loads of Haitians.
Auburn NY has had the same problem with crows for quite some time, they’re difficult to chase off and they even have organized crow hunts.
If you killed a whole flock of crows would that be considered to be a murder of crows.
bird is the word – trashmen
What? They never heard of shotguns and hunters?
I’m gonna go the other way with this

There’s gotta be a funny in there somewhere.
Residents are saying: “This town is for the birds. And we’re not joking. It’s no laughing matter”.
Ah…I don’t know…what the hey.

They should organize a pirates convention for that time every year; cha-ching!
