KevinH:
The parrots are Ring-Necked Parakeets (or Rose-Ringed Parakeet) and I reckon Andy has put them in here to try to get rid of them.

Whenever they newly appear in people's gardens (or nearby), folk say, "Ah, how lovely, what pretty birds". A month later, the same people say, "Aaaarghhh, what noisy birds, don't they ever shut up?"

They are a pleasing sight (or infestation, to some) moving slowly north and west out of the SE of England.

;D

There you go, you see. Its amazing what you can learn on here.  Thanks Kev and Andy - I did enjoy that diversion  :thup:

Andy:
Sorry it was a bit off-topic :D
I love the parakeets, they can be a bit noisy, but its worth it, some info here,
http://10000birds.com/ring-necked-parakeets-in-the-uk.htm
and some fab photos which make mine look a bit pathetic. Rumours of the Origin are interesting,
I heard it was a James Bond film in the 60s, no one is sure, they can survive our winters which
is why they are still here

(They are quite mostly quite timid, which surprises me, as they are obviously fairly intelligent, i havent
heard one talk yet  :24: )

keith:
If they're a pest,and not protected,you could always have parakeet pie!

Lustrousstone:
They are classified as an alien invasive species, and therefore not protected
