More pisspoor journalism on the BBC website. 
And if Mr Kelly of the SOC thinks that a ring-necked parakeet can use the same nest holes as tits and nuthatches, he's obviously never seen one.
These same "concerns" (including the stuff about fruit crops) were raised when the birds became numerous in southern England. After several years, there are now more than 5000 of them - and there's been no evidence that any of the forecast disasters have happened.

Quote from the article - "As it is the first time the species has been seen in a group in the city, the news has caused concern among experts who say this could be a sign the birds are looking for a place to roost and produce young. "
If they become a problem, then someone could encourage them in the direction of 'way up high'  |

Ouch - sore head! 
I saw these birds (well not the SAME birds) in Kensington Park recently, and they are a complete delight. Send them to Glasgow!
