Their numbers exploded in the late nineties and many now see them as a pest. From the beginning of 2010 open season on the cockney parakeet will be declared.

In Nederland stikt het tegenwoordig ook van de halsbandparkieten... is begonnen in vondelpark Amsterdam, maar ze zitten ook al in Leiden en Haarlem...
Sinds eind '80 begin '90 ook in Den Haag en omgeving.
