“Sorry don’t have a receipt, as it wasn’t on my Thai Restaurants menu. “

Well then, you won’t be able to expense it.

The enviro nutjobs would go ballistic. LOL!

Crazy as they are, enviros want to exterminate any non-native species. They did it to the European Goldfinch, and (thank God) piranhas in the Florida canal system.

Florida is full of exotics, inncluding a dozen different species of parrots, African Cattle Egrets, and giant poisonous monitor lizards. I am in Ocala, and we came within an inch of establishing monkeys in the Ocala national Forest (from Tarzan movies filmed in Silver Springs).

Hate it when I do that.

I also don't have a recipe.

The last story I saw on this was from a San Francisco paper and predicted the snakes would be invading California all the way from Florida. Not quite sure how pythons would do in the Rockies myself.

Correct, certainly (I cheated, went and looked at the label on the bottle...g!), but I don't happen to know any Thai.

;^)

MM,

Well, the gator or croc in the kitchen of that lady a few weeks ago was scary enough...but now there are PYTHONS too!

Yikes!

Although I’m in North Fl. we are not near any water so I feel safe from the critters! (If you’re not including spiders and cockroaches)

;0 As for that grass you mention...I WISH we had that. We have mostly sand here in the country!

Interesting, I had no idea. They are at least doing something right.

There is a rural area not far from us that has slowly built up a population of parrots and a few people living in that area think it's just wonderful. When efforts to trap or otherwise get rid of them those few people have made much noise to leave them alone, I don't think they are enviros but just people who like to see them around. I believe the WA Fish and Game should to do something before long because they're multiplying.

Any parrots up there are probably Monk or Quaker Parrots (two names for one species). They are medium sized, green backs and gray fronts and are cold tolerant. Budgerigars (Budgies) probably can’t take the cold.
