Parakeet Hunting in Argentina: The Green Plague

An Exclusive Add-On to Your Dove or Mixed Bag Trip

Looking for a target faster, smarter, and more erratic than a dove? The Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) is a bright green, fast-flying bird that has become a severe agricultural pest in South America. Unlike most birds, they build massive communal nests—sometimes the size of a small car—high up in eucalyptus trees. Hunting them isn't just an incredible sport; it is vital Argentina pest control hunting that directly helps local farmers protect their crops.

Because they live in massive colonies, a well-scouted afternoon can easily turn into a high-volume parakeet shoot. As they return to their nests at golden hour, the sky fills with screeching, darting green targets. They dive-bomb and change direction in a split second, demanding quick reflexes. It’s a completely unique, adrenaline-filled experience with absolutely zero bag limits.

How to Book a Parakeet Hunt

Since these birds constantly shift their feeding grounds, this hunt requires specific, real-time scouting by our team. We must know in advance if your group is interested in chasing the "Green Plague" so we can prepare the logistics.

It is typically organized as a combo hunt: We pair a world-class morning of Duck or Dove hunting with a strategic afternoon shoot set up directly under the monk parakeet roosts. It is the perfect way to spice up a standard itinerary and test your shooting skills against one of Argentina's most challenging birds.
