I've heard them before and seen them fly over and stop in neighbours trees briefly but never seen one in our garden. I agree, hopefully they won't become a menace as I believe they can scare other birds off and we have already lost our lovely Nuthatch due to the tree loss in the area so don't want to lose any more of our lovely little song birds.
How amazing! About 50 years ago, a group of "escaped" parakeets in New York's Central Park survived quite a few winters together! Laura
ReplyDeleteYes I think that is how they became established here from escaping many years ago.
DeleteColourful!
ReplyDeleteCertainly was a surprise to see green on the feeder.
DeleteFascinating seeing the different birds that are attracted to a feeder. It is very easy to sit at the window for hours watching them!
ReplyDeleteIt is! I love watching the birds and seeing who shows up for some food.
Deleteoh lovely! we mostly get sparrows and green finches at ours.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see, but I have to say from what I have read hopefully we won't get too many or too often.
DeleteLovely, I hope he/she can cope with the winter temperatures.
ReplyDeleteI think they must be quite hardy and have adapted well to our climate.
DeleteParrots were a real 'menace' when playing golf in Australia. I have been told that they are now becoming common in the South of England. Good luck!
