sorry no experience where your at
but where I live there are tons of the darn things, I would be more than glad to find a way to give you all you want HAHA!
as for me all they do is cause me a mess with bird feeders and find them filling barns,garages up with seeds and what not's(red are even worse here)
to me there more a nuisance than any joy , I don;t eat them so don;t shoot them and cannot even find anyone that wants them to eat!
IMO there more like furry rats , some think there cute I guess, but I don't !
