Crews were called to Concord Turnpike around 11 after witnesses spotted smoke and flames near the railroad tracks.

The pile of lumber belonged to a company that recycles and resells old building products.

Sounds ordinary enough--
But utility and wildlife officials set a trap for the birds four months ago, and they've yet to be caught.
Every time the trap is set, the birds manage to figure out a way to get around it.
It's been their nest for the last four years.
Officials are trying to evict the parrots, because they say it's not safe.
A zoo in Wyoming has agreed to take the birds when--or IF-- they're ever caught.
