BILL NUMBER: S4131 REVISED 10/29/09 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to making psittacine birds, especially Monk (Quaker) Parakeets, protected birds PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : This bill would protect Monk (Quaker) parakeets and psittacine birds. Protecting Monk parakeets and psittacine birds enables nest sites to not be disturbed intentionally without permit, unless the nest site is a matter of imminent threat to public safety. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : An amendment is made to paragraph A of subdivision 5 of section 11-0103 of the Environmental Conservation Law, as amended by chapter 47 of the laws of 1976, to read that psittacine birds be protected in New York State. JUSTIFICATION : Currently, wild Quaker Parakeets (a/k/a Monk Parakeets, species Myiopsitta monachus), are unprotected in New York State. As these highly intelligent birds have resided in the New York city area for some forty years, it is requested that they be placed in "Protected" status by amending the New York State Environmental Conservation Laws.
