Sigh.
The Brooklyn parakeets went thru the same mess, and
the folks there eventually learned to live WITH the
parakeets.
Now they live in man-made houses and do not bother the
power poles.
It just takes a little effort and coordination between
the PUD and the local folks who are willing to make a
spot for a pole for the parrot house(s).
I sent the PUD and the Town Council the information.
I guess they did not bother to read it.
Bummer.
