They reproduce a lot and the climate isn't too cold anymore for them to thrive. All kinds of shit from the south are now invasive in the north. From birds to bacteria.

They are all the way through to cape cod. Their massive nests occasionally disrupt train service.

This isn't new. They were around 30 plus years ago when I was a kid.

Yes. Now they're thriving though and spreading further up the coast.

It has nothing to do with climate change. They've been here for at least 30 years.

They are proliferating and moving further and further north. Soon might be in the sub Arctic.

This isn't unique to CT. They are considered invasive through Europe and Asia as well because of the pet industry. Of course originally they were tropical birds.

That's warming. I edited my post a bit to be more clear.
