Monk Parakeets
Monk Parakeets are native to South America but in the last few decades, some of the birds have been transplanted to the U.S. and their numbers have grown. Officials are taking a wait-and-see approach as to whether the birds are a threat to native wildlife and agriculture. Diane Orson from WNPR explains.
