We examine the press representation of monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) and their
population management in Madrid city. To do this, we analyze mentions of this species in six Spanish
newspapers for the case of Madrid. We apply a mixed methodology composed of framing, text analysis, and sentiment analysis. This multi-method approach allows us to further examine the framing

We examine the press representation of monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) and their
population management in Madrid city. To do this, we analyze mentions of this species in six Spanish
newspapers for the case of Madrid. We apply a mixed methodology composed of framing, text analysis, and sentiment analysis. This multi-method approach allows us to further examine the framing
and word choice of the newspapers, concluding that the press representation of monk parakeets has
been biased and non-ethically led. We discuss this outcome by proposing a media representation
guided by non-speciesist ethical framings and avoiding the objectification of nonhuman animals.
