Back in February I posted some pictures of Parakeets in one of the parks in town (Southampton).
Today between heavy rain showers I decided as the leaves were thining on the trees to go back and see if the Parakeets were still about, before I reached the park I could hear them calling and flying through the trees. I spotted over 6 birds today – earlier in the year there was just a pair so it looks as if they successfully bred in the spring. Even though we are outside the breeding season one bird was showing a real interest in a nest hole this morning so hopefully the Southampton population will increase further next year.

The way they got to the UK and increased in population may be true or just a story someone made up. They are beautiful birds and I enjoyed your photos. I guess some people may consider them invasive pests.

Friends of mine used to breed these. They go for big $ in the U.S. and can talk pretty well.
