I Thought Winter Had Turned Green In London, Until I Realized It Was A Thousand Parakeets (35 Pics)
If you've never visited parks in London or other English cities, you’ve probably never experienced the surprise of seeing flocks of vibrant ring-necked parrots in migration. In spring, they nibble delicately on cherry blossoms, savoring the sweet nectar. While the sight is beautiful, it also means the cherry blossom season is shortened to just a single day.
But I had never witnessed what I saw recently: hundreds of birds perched and sleeping in the trees around a car park. There were so many that the tree itself seemed to grow green leaves overnight.

Useless information - Touched on some of this briefly in my comments above, but these are Indian Ringneck parrots/parakeets as they're referred to here (I'll refer to them as 'IRNs'). The mature males (they hit maturity around two) develop the famous 'ring' around their neck; the ladies and young 'uns don't have a ring. Males can get territorial - if you want IRNs as pets it's generally better to not go with two males (unless you've confirmed that they are compatible). Both males and females can talk but as with most birds, males are more likely to/likely to be more understandable. IRNs have this adorable squeaky voice when they talk. When they're bred in captivity, they come in different colours such as blue, yellow, etc.
