Living baubles



Spot the odd one out.


At one stage there were twelve of these ring-necked parakeets,
bedecking the tree.

  1. Parakeets in England growing in population by 30% a year?! What an exotic bird.

  4. You've got to feel sorry for the poor pigeon being surrounded by such spectacularly beautiful birds!

  6. It makes my day when I spot them, Lucille. I know their favourite tree in the park but don't often see as many as this.

  7. PS I've just read your earlier post. I'd never heard the African Queen theory - but I do hope it's true.

  10. I know those birds! They come in little flocks round my way. My fantasy about them is that, years ago, a few escaped from a prison aviary and have thrived ever since. Good for them! When ever I see them they make a good deal of noise, as if to say 'We made it, we survived. Here we are everyone!!'
