January 21, 20206 yr Was walking a hound in Leverhulme park at the weekend, when we met a twitcher admiring some tits. He explained that he'd just come from Tonge Cemetery and had witnessed some Indian ringnecks. Also said some were around manc/Salford. Anyway, mother in law has just informed us one was on a feeder in the garden (Bradshaw). Question is, has anyone else seen one (or more)?
January 21, 20206 yr Just about everyone who posts on Harwood & Bradshaw groups on Facebook has seen green parakeets around Longsight Park and Seven Acres Country Park. Apparently a breeding pair escaped some time ago and thrived.

I've seen a few tits from Salford on another thread if that helps ?

January 21, 20206 yr Some big brightly coloured Parrott's fly around Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria, seen em a few times, very vocal they are too.
January 21, 20206 yr Author It seems they're everywhere. Going to do the big garden bird watch this weekend; be nice to see one.

January 22, 20206 yr We’ve put some fat balls, seed and water out at work and have attracted some very colourful species, I wouldn’t know what they are, I’m useless with all that stuff. The hardest part was keeping the greedy bastard grey squirrels off, hate the things.

January 22, 20206 yr There’s a van drives about Blackpool with bird man parrot rescue on it. Always think how the fuck can he possibly make a living out of rescuing parrots?

January 23, 20206 yr I send my parrot there for boarding when we go on holiday, its a great little place and it's surprising how many birds they rescue and rehome.
