[Government considering Ring-necked Parakeet cull

Ring-necked Parakeets may be culled by
the government, with a recent revelation
in The Telegraph stating that Defra officials
are in discussions about destroying satellite
populations of the species.
During the past few decades the parakeet
has spread from London to become
an established Category C breeding species
in much of the South-East with an
estimated population of some 8,600 – though
perhaps as many as 25,000 – pairs.
In recent years the species has penetrated
far corners of Britain; BirdGuides reports show
the parakeets have reached as far north as
Aberdeenshire and west as Devon since 2017.]



They are Tough Little Devils

i quite like them, makes you feel like you are on holiday when you go to the park on a nice summers day.

They are Destroying to much
and other birds are being scared away, by them.

what birds? pigeons and seaguls?

As long as they leave the robins and tits alone i dont mind.

we could eat them?

although it is said they can repeat on you

Definitely worth saving

They are effected in a big way.

Kentucky Fried Parakeet?

if they are killing off indigenous birds much as I dont like the idea of culls it might be a necessary evil

Bully Type Gang Bird

first the minks and now the bully type gang birds

Robins were the before them



The Invaded our nation
even some in Scotland
all those burgers on the floor
from drunks.

Yes they are killing off small British Birds

Are you saying that Babs was actually pecked to death by a gang of bullying parakeets? :worry:

look at the beak on that, our little birdies dont stand a chance

Do they actually fight with/attack the other birds? I thought it was more a case of competition for resources from that article, especially with other birds that live in "tree holes" like woodpeckers and owls.

I know the larger seagulls can be very aggressive with smaller birds and even known to swallow them whole :worry:

I had a pal who wanted to make a film about a gang of gangsters who illegally imported these birds inside pairs of mens pants

but he could not think of a good title for the movie

:think:

Wtf happened there? I posted a reply in another thread and it teleported me to the birds! :joker:

Yep ..that was my understanding as well.

I love all living things so I’m dead against any kind of cull ....

I’ve only heard good things about them until this bombshell .. all we see is photos of happy , smiling families feeding and even holding these beautiful creatures ..

I much prefer them to those aggressive Starlings ..

Internalised patriarchy raises its ugly beak once again :fist:

They’re smaller than starlings , pigeons , blackbirds , magpies, jays , rooks and crows etc aren’t they ??

Who’s left to bully :)

Small but they are in Gangs
Loads of Pecking Bullys
