2.For 40years,people in London have been happy to see parakeets (马尾鹦鹉) in their parks.The shocking green body and long tail have brought a bright color to the parks,which have attracted a lot of people.However,the parakeets are no longer welcome.They will push out local birds from trees to build their own nests,and will also take most of the food in the parks,such as seeds,fruit and nuts.
Sometimes by accident,plants and animals are carried to new places.They are transported by trains,ships or even planes.Often,animals like fishes get transported in the water containers of ships.When these ships reach new places and pump out the water from their tanks,these animals will start a new life in a new place.
