I didn't find one in Texas through an internet search either. But I did see someone post on craigslist austin looking for a guided hunt. I bet they got that idea on this forum. If anyone finds one I would be interested in a population control hunt as well.

They're all over White rock lake and I see them fly over my backyard a few times a week. Saw a pack of 15+ fly right down McKinney Avenue the other day.

We shot them in Argentina. you could hear their loud squealing coming at you and they had some moves. IF you knocked one down, they counted double. The locals hate them because the sit on top of the milo feeding and will end up killing the whole plant.

In pet shops they're called Quaker parrots. Bird people call them monk parakeets. I've seen them in Garland, Dallas, McKinney, Rowlett...even in Wolfe City. Jerry Jones spent six figures to bird-proof the new stadium because they were building giant nests and pooping all over the place. I've heard they are good to eat, which makes sense because they eat the same food that doves eat. I'd grill one.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

Hunted parakeet several times down around Waco. We didn't use dogs, but had a guide with a parrot that would call them in. Once the parrot had them coming in they would settle into a pile of bird seed the guide put out, at that point he had three Siamese cats that would clean the pile off. Not much meat on the little buggers and a pain to clean but tied fly's with some of the more colorful feathers. All in all a nice hunt. I've lost track when does the season open. Wait a minute, you have two-headed cats? 
Be calm brother, I see you and thank you. Your spirit and body nourish mine. Be calm brother; I see you and thank you.

Taste depends on time of year and what they have been eating. Best if you field dress them and get them on ice quickly.

I would think they are classified as exotic so that would be no season or limit. Kinda like they look at the ring necked dove. Ring necks are bigger, little tougher but they still cook just fine so the monk parakeets being smaller would be more work but tender little birds.

Will have to eat at least a dozen, just to feel their taste.
