While I think it’s a shame for our native wildlife, I do also like the colour contrast of the parakeets with flowers in trees.
Vermin.
They have such a distinctive call
Bet the parakeets were picking out the flower
Where’s in regents park is this at mate, I’m looking for locations to shoot and I love this cherry blossom. Are there more surrounding this tree?
Thanks in advance
It’ll soon be nesting season, so keep an eye out for little hideaways with little parakeets inside. You’ll know them when you see them because your first instinct will be to mutter, “is that a misshaped thumb shrieking at me?”.
God I hate these bloody things 🤣
Seen in West Ham Park.
Loads across north east London now
There’s a fair bit of academic research about how they’ve spread and their impact on biodiversity.
I didn’t realise that they have spread much further than London now, and they seem to thrive most in urban environments.
There’s a map on this link and the article is pretty accessible and a good read
Had one as a pet and it was a total asshole. Cute, though.
Bloody vermin :))
The much less successful follow-up to Werewolves Of London…
Why am I trying to make that scan to “Guns of Brixton”‽
Noisy wankers….but pretty with it.
I’m sticking to the Jimi Hendrix story and I don’t care if it’s nonsense.

They are often too fast or hidden to actually see. Yesterday I saw two in Windsor great park just chilling out in a tree together while dozens rapidly flew to other trees
