Ring-necked Parakeets became established in the wild in the UK in the 1970s after captive birds escaped or were released. Mainly found in the south-east and in London there are large flocks. This pair I spotted today in a Southampton park.

Same thing here where non-native, captive birds escape or are released, and then create a wild colony.
