Parrot Feather (Myriophyllum aquaticum) is an aggressive invasive aquatic plant that can quickly choke out Alabama’s ponds and waterways. While its feathery green foliage may look attractive, it forms dense mats that block sunlight, deplete oxygen levels, and interfere with fishing and boating. Stay alert for this invader to protect our local water quality and native aquatic life!
