Starlings don't build nests on utility lines that cause coslty service interruptions. The fires alone are difficult but aren't the only problem. One sercive interruption occurred at a plating company. When they lose power, the metals, etc. cool and it cost several million to get back up and running.

Ok, bad example. I meant starlings aren't native. But parakeets aren't the only ones that nest in utility poles.
