Post interesting invasive species from your country. Here in Germany we have these parrots which just established themselves a couple of years ago. They seem to be sccessful despite the climate. I saw them near many different citys along the Rhine, so it seems like they've definetly spread and their population is growing. I don't think it's clear how exactly they got here, maybe they're escaped pets or zoo animals or something
We have them in London, you can see them near parks and green areas.
Quite the opposite of an invasive species since they were native here until the 1800s, but the wild turkeys have been doing some damage as they progress up north through new england. I wanna eat one.

Ecological or economical?
Economical. I'm sure the coyotes are having a blast.
We've got those parrots in the UK too.
I've seen these dudes in Spain, Germany and South Africa. Seriously how are they able to become invasive to this extent when no other parrot is? There are multiple parrots native to the same area and only this one has managed to spread so far.
they're different species though.
Because these are cheap and easily available, meaning that lots of drooling retards were able to buy them and dump them outside
We apparently have a couple stray kangaroos in Germany, escaped from zoos and private captivity
how many? Would be pretty cool to have some roos hoppin around
At least one in the Eifel region
And there was a herd of bennet kangaroos that got released from a pet zoo by "rowdies" some 15 years back. There are probably more, but I knew of the Bennet roos and stumbled upon the Eifel one just yesterday
The UK has a population of feral wallabies too
>Invades local river system
>Absolutely mogs every other species and spreads throughout almost every north america river in a few decades
>Muricans won't eat them because muh bones and that calling them "carp" makes people think they are mud-sifting fish when they are mostly filter feeders and are arguably the cleanest fish to eat in the water.
Buddy looks like he had one too many chromosomes for lunch
Yeah, people say that about the mud but don't think twice about eating catfish.
Fish don't taste good if they aren't critically endangered, pedestrian scum. You really want us to eat one of the most common fish in our river systems?
i think it was 2007, parrot like that escaped from some balcony in neiborhood, thing was like a fucking ufo, flying at amazing speed among the commieblocks, eating from every tree(im in a balkan shithole cunt theres owergrown bush and orchards everywhere), screaching in decibels, scaring off the pigeons and fighting with the crows
Then winter came and it froze
We even tried to figure out how to trap it so it would survive but fuck it it died in the cold, was sad
It was amazing to see the thing free, i never imagined it can fly that fucking fast, it was like some stupid metaphor for freedom or something, a fucking parrot gone feral
nowdays it wouldnt freeze, the temperatures barely go under zero, funny how things changed in a decade
another one from Germany are these big amphibious rodents that also started showing up just a couple of years ago, at least in the lakes of the big park area I know them from. They are the biggest rodents I've seen in the wild, I bet they are some of the largest period behind capybara and beavers. They also kinda look like beavers, just with rat tails.
Retards keep feeding them because they look cute, which made them super tame. They'll now come up to people and beg for food. Of course this is bad for the local ecosystem, which is why I think there already are plans about reducing their population
We have these in Arkansas
>plans
There is a $6/tail bounty on them in Louisiana and has been since the early 2000s.
We have those in france too
We also eat them
I'm not sure if the american mink is interesting, but it looks like they outcompete the European mink. They're literally getting colonized here.
European wall lizards in North America are pretty cool. There's a population quite close to me so I've been thinking of going over to catch some for my garden when temperatures are warmer.
Make them a terrarium that simulates their natural habitat. Make them feel at home.
>3rd world shithole
>loses to Ukraine
China is scarier
We have them in italy too. I didn't know they lived as far north as germany

Invasive species are nature's salvation
>globohomo but for animals
You forgot plants chud
>Beavers in the southernmost part of argentina
>Introduce for making coats from the skin
>Population in tierra del fuego is really low and beavers reproduced really fast
>Nowadays the government even pays you to poach them
if you get paid to shoot them it isn't poaching, poaching is illegal hunting.
Hello to everyone from Russia! This hero's name is Gosha. We bought it in Greece in 1996. He was 4 years old. Now he is already 30 years old, and he is still as good! I'll add more photos below.
Bro, my literal budgie has a bigger cage with more toys.
Here we go
what the fuck, that's horrible. let him out of that way too small cage now you animal abuser
Stop crying lmao. It's a good cage.
>small
>no toys or literally anything else in it
Yeah seems like a good cage
There's a toy that didn't get into the frame. We also release it to fly around the house every day, snowflake.
>good cage
>cant even fly inside it
what the hell is wrong with you
have a nice day
As someone who had a parrot when I was like 12-13 that I didn’t take care of properly and neglected due to being a little idiot this shit destroys me. I will never regret anything more
I hope your fellow third world neighbors stick you in a prison to slowly die for decades
That's a common occurrence in Russia.
go die in Ukraine gay bitch
Hello from canada! I would feed it to my cat. It looks delicious.
Does he at least have a window for natural sunlight?
>bird gulag.
Did someone train him to insult Putin or something?
>30 years
#FREE GOSHA
Theres ostriches roaming the outback
How hard can they be to exterminate? Are they impervious to small arms fire like the emus?
Austin, Texas has a huge population of Monk Parakeets -- which look a lot like the birds you posted. They got loose decades ago when a shipment of them to be sold as pets somehow fell off a truck or whatever. They sound very different than north american birds, so when you look and see a bright green bird its very startling. There, too, it freezes at times in winter and yet they survive.
We have loads of these in London UK now too
there are colonies of these guys in many major cities all around the world. they're so prevalent because they're one of the few parrot species that can survive in temperate climates with cold winters. unlike other parrots they build large communal nests to keep warm. so when pet monk parakeets escape they can survive and breed in places where other types of parrot would just die.
>established themselves a couple of years ago
They've been there for almost a decade now.
>I don't think it's clear how exactly they got here
It is, negligent pet owners released them outside and they survived thanks to the stable high temperatures of urban environments.

Good morning sirs
I wish we had cute invasive species like this
You really dont, they are pieces of shit that never stop screaming. NEVER
Those birds seem fine at first, but they really are autistic pieces of shit.
This anon gets it. Looks like karma has finally come to collect from Germany.
I thought you meant south asians and central africans were invading your country
I don't get invasive birds. If they're so effortlessly successful, why weren't they here in the first place?
Birds are affected by geographical barriesr like any other animal, the fact that they can live in two distant places doesn't mean that they can survive the travel between them.
Also birds like the parrots OP posted rely on human infrastructure to survive outside of their natural range.
