non-native

Non-native plants don’t attract enough insects for them to eat.

Parakeets are a non-native bird so they are classed as an invasive species.

The one exception is a pot of orange-flowered tropical milkweed, a non-native variety they keep for sentimental reasons because it reminds them of how they met when they both were single living in Santa Monica.

Ornithologists weighed in, some claiming the non-native bird would be a danger to native ones.

FLS said the animals were classed as a non-native species and illegally released.
