I personally feel that we as breeders need to be a lot more responsible in ensuring that our birds do not escape etc..
eg, there are large colonies of Ringneck in the Asherville, Pheonix, Chatsworth and Gateway area..
This is unexceptable..

How on earth can something that breeds once a year if you are lucky be breeding rapidly ???leon chetty wrote:These are invasive species and are breeding rapidly, sitting at the Palm Court at Gateway you can see all the fledglings
Hi Johan,Johan S wrote:Lee, you can contact the PVSA directly (details at http://www.aviculturesa.co.za/index.php/contact-us) to enquire about their plan of action. They have been aware of this longer than me. And go sign the petition already. You, and your family. And your extended family. And friends. And neighbours.![]()
Peter, PVSA has never been a "by invitation only" organisation, unless I'm missing something. The old Ringneck breeder association used to be that way, though.
I have compiled a chain mail (oh, how I hate those) notifying people of the situation as well. The mail has also been sent to EXCO members of PVSA and some other clubs whose EXCO details I have available. So hopefully the PVSA will be able to use the results in the petition. Other than that, the only thing I can still ask is that people sign the petition. Then get your family and friends involved too, and use the petition page's "sharing" functionality to get it into twitter, facebook, etc. as well. And finally to send the details to your contact lists.
