近日，印度中央邦（Madhya Pradesh）的罂粟果都成熟了，然而，当地农民却因为鹦鹉群的不断侵袭而备受困扰。
根据ZEE电视台新闻频道的相关视频画面可以看到，鹦鹉飞来停在罂粟果上，用嘴利落地拨开外壳，或者直接咬断下方的茎，然后飞走。
据悉，有些“聪明”的鹦鹉甚至会利用自身颜色与周围环境相融合的特点，故意“隐身”在农民周围，等到他们拨开罂粟荚，暴露出其中的乳胶（乳胶中含有麻醉生物碱，包括吗啡和可待因等），随后默默俯冲过去，不发出一丝声音。
据每日邮报报道，中央邦曼德绍尔（Mandsaur）的专家R.S Chundawat表示，事实上，罂粟种子中的麻醉成分对鹦鹉的影响和人体如出一辙，一旦鹦鹉体验到这种感觉，它们很快就会上瘾。

罂粟种植者Nandkishore在接受《亚洲通讯社》采访时介绍，“一朵罂粟花可以产生大约20-25克的鸦片，但是一大群鹦鹉每天大约要飞来30-40次，专门以这些植物为食，有些甚至会带着罂粟果飞走。这严重影响了我们的产量。”
美国《希望之声》报道称，在印度，种植鸦片也并不是一件容易的事情，因为它作为一种特殊的药材来种植，农民必须得到政府发放的特殊许可证才能合法种植罂粟。
然而，由于当地刚刚经受过雨水不均等天气状况的影响，因此对农民们来说，再遭到鹦鹉群的攻击，无异于雪上加霜。
Nandkishore透露，农民已多次与当地官员进行沟通，希望政府能够安装扬声器并播放一些杂音来赶走鹦鹉，政府却一直无动于衷。因此，他们只能通宵待在罂粟田中，并不断发出一些声响希望能够有所作用，“我们有时候还会放鞭炮，但好像也没有太大作用”。
印度《每日新闻与分析》（DNA）称，这已经不是农民们第一次受到鹦鹉的袭击，去年，鹦鹉们就曾集体攻击过拉贾斯坦邦（Rajasthan）的一处罂粟田。
根据VOA此前报道，由于农作物价格下跌以及柴油、化肥等成本的不断上升，当地农民早已不堪重负，因此也多次与相关部门发生暴力冲突。去年（2018年）12月，中央邦的新领导上台，承诺对当地农民进行债务减免，以此来弥补农民因农作物价格下跌而导致的损失。
2017年，印度不少地方也相继采取过类似的债务减免政策。英国《金融时报》曾报道指出，在印度，农民的债务豁免有着漫长而有争议的历史。在2008年，由印度前国大党领导的政府豁免了相当于GDP的1.8%的农业贷款。 但是该举措遭被农业经济学家批评为一种民粹主义措施。这些经济学家指出，这种举措未能解决农民的真正问题或可持续地提高农业生产力或农民收入。

Recently, the poppy fruit of Madhya Pradesh has matured. However, local farmers have been troubled by the constant invasion of parrots.
According to the relevant video footage of the ZEE TV news channel, the parrot flies to stop on the poppy fruit, use the mouth to open the shell, or directly bite the stem below, and then fly away.
It is reported that some "smart" parrots even use the characteristics of their own color and the surrounding environment, deliberately "stealth" around the farmers, waiting for them to open the poppy pods and expose the latex (the latex contains anesthetic alkaloids, including Morphine and codeine, etc., then subdued silently, without making a sound.
According to the Daily Mail, RS Chundawat, an expert at Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh, said that in fact, the anesthetic ingredients in poppy seeds have the same effect on parrots as the human body. Once the parrots experience this feeling, they quickly It will be addictive.

Poppy grower Nandkishore said in an interview with AsiaNews, "A poppy flower can produce about 20-25 grams of opium, but a large group of parrots fly about 30-40 times a day, specializing in these plants. Some even fly away with poppy fruit. This seriously affects our production."
The US Voice of Hope reported that in India, growing opium is not an easy task because it is grown as a special medicinal material, and farmers must obtain special permits issued by the government to legally grow opium poppy.
However, because the local area has just been affected by the uneven weather conditions, it is no different to the farmers to attack the parrots.
Nandkishore revealed that farmers have repeatedly communicated with local officials, hoping that the government can install speakers and play some noise to drive away parrots, but the government has remained indifferent. Therefore, they can only stay in the poppy field and keep making some sounds to make it work. "We sometimes set off firecrackers, but it doesn't seem to have much effect."
India's Daily News and Analysis (DNA) said that this was not the first time farmers had been attacked by parrots. Last year, parrots collectively attacked a poppy field in Rajasthan.
According to previous reports from the VOA, local farmers have long been overwhelmed by the falling prices of crops and the rising costs of diesel and fertilizers, so there have been violent clashes with relevant departments. Last December (2018), the new leader of Madhya Pradesh came to power to commit debt relief to local farmers to compensate farmers for losses caused by falling crop prices.
In 2017, similar debt relief policies have been adopted in many places in India. The Financial Times has reported that in India, farmers' debt exemptions have a long and controversial history. In 2008, the government led by the former National Congress of India exempted 1.8% of agricultural loans. But the move was criticized by agricultural economists as a populist measure. These economists point out that such initiatives fail to address the real problems of farmers or sustainably increase agricultural productivity or farmers' incomes.
