Hi All,
I will keep it short and simple, "what happens when an exotic species of bird breeds in the wild and it's population increases". I was lucky or unlucky to photograph a Budgerigar an Australian lovebird in Mudumalai, it would've escaped from a cage. Now this species do not migrate to other places and is only found in Australia, and hence it will be in this habitat till it perishes. Migratory birds after flying to different parts of the world fly back to it's native habitat however in this case what happens if this Buderigar mates with other species or if it is pregnant then chances of the species rising is more. Though this species prefers humid and hot climate, I wonder if it will be able to sustain the chill winds of the Nilgiris. An expert Ornithologist should be able to give us some more insight on what happens when a Bird which is not native, breeds in the wild and it's consequences in the Habitat belonging to the native species. Appreciate it.
Thanks & Regards,
Siddhartha
