BBC features DICE parrot research network

Research from DICE, part of the University’s School of Anthropology and Conservation, featured on BBC South East yesterday evening (Monday 3 March). The item focused on a new research network called ParrotNet, led by Dr Jim Groombridge with colleagues from countries across Europe, and aims to understand the impacts of invasive parrots across the UK. Dr Groombridge was interviewed in the piece, which looked at the number of parakeets located in Ramsgate.
