Janet Olsen Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I live just outside Brisbane in Australia & have one visits my garden every morning. I feed the wild birds & this beautiful bird has been coming just about every day for about 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardworker Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I was delighted to see two in the tree at the bottom of my garden on Saturday. They were chatting loudly to each other! I'm in Norton so suspect they are from Gravesend Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gremlin_mick Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 A pair of parakeets flew noisily over me yesterday morning in Darnall. Heading towards the Bowden Housteads woods. I'll have to keep an eye and an ear open for them this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katkin Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I had a pet ringnecked parakeet in the 70s-80s. haven't seen any wild ones near us yet at hunters bar, just a few shrieking as they flew above Sainsbury's at Archer Road once this summer.

Person6 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 There used to be a strong colony around the Holbrook/Killamarsh area but an individual was baiting and trapping them for what purpose I don't know. I haven't seen one in that area for a couple of years. The same person was also seen trapping young kestrels in the same area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Person6 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Is that legal? Don't know, but the only people interested were the Derbyshire Council wardens that patrol the area. Doubt whether anything came of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
