Consolidated Edison, New York City’s major electricity supplier, is having issues with Monk Parakeets building nests on utility poles in my home borough of Queens. Having learned from previous public relations nightmares the compnay is not moving straight to extermination but trying to find ways to discourage the birds from nesting on the poles (the bulky stick nests are a fire hazard). Here’s hoping they find a humane way to deal with the situation!
