Pythons - illegal invaders?
In the 1960s, there was a small flock (about six) of escaped pet parrots that lived in the trees next to my south Florida high school running track.
Apparently, a local home owner fed them every day, and the parrot squawking drove the other (affluent) neighbors crazy.
Several local news articles were published about various lawsuits and people shouting at each other in the court room.
When the students ran laps on the track, we would all start squawking, and all the parrots would light up at the same time. The noise level was ridiculous!
Eventually, the gym coaches were required to give detentions to any student who started squawking.
Parrots live up to 80 years. Some of them, and their children and grand children, might still be living there!
