They are also, however, very noisy and require a lot of attention and can create bad neighbours from their habit of early screeching in the morning. These birds are not endangered and in fact are a pest in farming areas where theydig up crops of planted grain. They have been observed in flocks of over 1000 birds. They are also destructive in urban areas chewing balcony railings and in general causing great damage to housing.
