Parrot feather’s dense vegetation provides mosquito larvae a refuge from predation. Subsequent increases in recruitment of Anopheles may lead to increased mosquito-borne diseases that could infect wildlife and people.

A strong correlation has been determined between the density of parrotfeather growth and the presence of mosquito eggs and larvae (Orr and Resh, 1989), which may lead to increased mosquito-borne diseases that could infect wildlife and people.

"Overall, parrot feather contained the highest heavy metal concentrations found in any sample collected for this study, with copper and zinc concentrations being over twice the concentrations of these metals in the next most accumulative species. Aquatic vegetation can be a source of food for a variety of herbivores and detritivores leading to the possibility of bioaccumulation of metals in higher trophic levels of the food chain."
