It's important to note that while these exotic bird species add diversity to the local avifauna, some may pose ecological challenges as invasive species, particularly if they outcompete native bird species for resources or cause disturbances to the natural ecosystem. Conservation efforts and management plans are in place to ensure the balance and preservation of Mauritius' unique biodiversity.
