Fucking parrots in the morning omg

[BBno4]

They are so loud!
Where did all of these green parrots in London come from anyway?
There's so much in NW10 they are like pigeons

They are so loud! However, they are also very fast. Always amazes me when a flock flies by. Blink and you’ll miss it.

They are in the forest by me, edge of east London /Essex also tons in north chingford, as they are on the fringes of epping forest. I really like how they have just integrated with all the other birds, they eat off our bird feeder too..

@toptopnoddy
How silly, they are not hurting the other species. I am a (sad I know) birdwatcher and myself and fellow watchers haven't noticed and negativity with them.

We have them in the SW now too, they roost in the hospital grounds near me and fly noisily over our garden every morning. I fear that soon they will discover our bird feeders and then we are doomed!

Be thankful you don't leave in Kirkby Stephen......they've had scarlet macaws roaming round for.years, they make a right racket 🤣🤣🤣

I'm in SE London and we had them for years but they all fucked off during COVID havent seen any for ages. Seem to have been replaced by magpies and the parrots were a lot nicer!

Red kites rat dead things, they only take smaller birds in very very rare circumstances, like breeding season.
we have huge numbers of kites and parakeets living together.
my guess is there’s something else at play.
fewer people feeding birds?? maybe

I'm in north Manchester and regularly get parakeets in my garden.

I like them! They're very entertaining birds to watch and they're so bright and beautiful. But yes, they do make a hell of a racket sometimes.

Some people believe they're detrimental to native birds but there's really no evidence of that, so I'm happy to welcome them really. Even with earplugs...

Lots of them in the areas of Downham and Grove Park

They are very pretty and very noisy when they are in my neighbours Tree.

We have herring gulls making a racket here. We are about as far from the sea as you can get in the UK.

We also have geese flying over honking but only hear them once a day.

They are bloody loud!! We have loads of them around, based in West London. Have also noticed Kites have increased since Covid.

They’re Indian Ringnecks. They are loud for little birds. Try living with them. I’ve got 2.

Same here, I'm in semi rural North Herts. You'd think it was Brighton Pier first thing 🙄

There are budgies and parakeets where I live in Herts but not enough to be a nuisance. There is a large colony in Regents Park and we saw many after walking from London Zoo recently. Hyde Park too.

Magpies are very noisy too. Early on Saturday morning it seemed that every magpie in the area was on a roof nearby creating a huge cacophony of noise. I have seen so many magpies at once. Later I found a sparrowhawk with a carcass in my garden under a bush - the feathers looked black and white, so one less magpie now.

They have been trying to spread into our bit of Surrey but never last long as the sparrowhawks make very short work of them. Occasionally find an explosion of green feathers in the woods where one has met it’s doom.

The Times mapped their spread in 2019x

Loads up here in South Manchester, you hear them before you see them. I was one parked next to a tree with hundreds of them in, the noise was something else.

I’ve seen a few in my north eastern town, loads in Amsterdam and Manchester.
ive seen the Macaws in Kirby too, take your breath away when they fly over.

Very good, Sunset! That made me laugh :)

I love them. They come into my garden sometimes and I love watching them fly overhead.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Crows gang up on the buzzards here 😵‍💫

You fuck budgies??? 😳
